3D Book art

Our assignment was to create a 3D art sculpture from a book that we were given randomly, my book was about medicine and a women who wanted to make medicine but she lived in a time where women were not aloud to work, so she decided to make thing happen for herself and she created a life saving drug that prevented horrible diseases. So I used the medicine idea and thought off the idea of a bottle of pills that had been knocked over. I then developed this idea and rolled up newspaper into a tube and then stuffed it to make it stronger this formed the start off the bottle of pills. I then piled up circles of newspaper and used then to make the base of the lid, next I rolled up little oval shaped balls as the pills then for the pill I wrapped two different kinds of paper to cover them. I used the edge off the paper which had no writing on and I wrapped it  around half of the pill then I used the text covered paper to cover the rest of the pill. I then covered the rest of the sculpture in the pages off the book.

I felt that my 3D art work went very well, i worked hard on my sculpture and I liked the idea of wrapping 2 different kinds of paper around the tablets. I thought that making the sculpture would be very challenging , but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. If  I could change one thing about it I would like to make the edges smoother so they aren't so rough.     

2D book art 

I created a 2D art sculpture out of my book using a simple cutting method. I used a small sculpture knife to cut through the pages of the book, this was especially difficult because I had stuck 4 of the pages together on both sides of the book to give the impending form more strength. My book was called Crop Nutrition And Fertilisation, so I took the idea of using the image of a watering can. I chose this particular image because a Watering Can is used to water plants in gardens so it is a form of fertilisation. I didn't want to chose a image like a tractor or a bunch off plants because this would be to obvious idea.

I was very happy with my result, I like the watering can idea, it was very simple but effective. if I could change this piece. I would make the edges off the watering can smooth. the edges off the sculpture are rough because I used the wrong end of the scoring knife to cut out the shape.
