3D Art Cardboard Relief Project

Our project in 3D Art was to make a 3D sculpture with cardboard and  have a word relating to what we built. So, for my project I built a desk lamp and the word I chose was "Shine". My favorite thing about this piece was building the stand for the lamp. Building the stand was my favorite part because I liked how It looked just how I pictured it to look. I chose to make a lamp and use the word "Shine" because I when I was struggling to think of a word to use a one of my favorite songs "Shine" by Pentagon came on. This gave me the idea to make my word for the project "Shine". I chose to use a lamp because it was something that emitted light that wasn't the sun because I didn't want it to be cliche. I made is work by tearing, cutting, and bending lots of cardboard. If I could make one thing different about this project I would of made the lamp shade smaller so it doesn't look bigger than the base. I used 3D elements by making 2 of each letter and putting a smaller piece of cardboard in between each letter. I made the base 3D buy first making the shape, then I ran the lamp stand through it. After that I stuffed the base with cardboard for weight. Then I glued a piece of cardboard on the bottom of the base so the cardboard I stuffed in it would not fall out. These are some of the steps I used to build my lamp.
