Translucent Layers

In class when we were shown inspiration images for the project I most liked the ones that were hung, so I knew that I wanted my project to be one that hung also. I started by making a structure with some square wooden dowels that I would then later attach each of the pieces onto. After making the structure I started by drawing on tracing paper, I drew a few clouds that I cut out once they were done. When drawing the clouds I used a blue marker, and later decided to make the whole piece monochromatic.

I then began to paint a landscape on the yupo paper using water color. I would later go back and add some white acrylic paint on the back and also cut the image. On another piece of yupo paper after painting I cut a leaf pattern into it. I also cut the leaf pattern into a little window that I made.

Once I finished each piece I started to poke holes in them and using fishing wire to attach them to the wooden structure. Overall I really enjoyed using the transparent paper and hope to experiment more with it in the future.
