Cartoonish Amalgamation – 3D/Cardboard Post

For this project, I wasn’t all that excited about working with cardboard, so I tried to just dive into the project and not do any prep work for it. I only had the idea to get some cardboard boxes and cut a bunch of different small shapes out of them. After doing that and having a bunch of shapes, I started to just assemble together to form some sort of sculpture. 

I used a combination of super glue and cutting slits into the cardboard pieces to make these pieces stick together. Getting close to using up all the pieces for the cardboard sculpture, I realized that I needed to make it taller to fulfill the height requirement of the project. After some thought, I decided to grab a random piece of cardboard that was still partially still intact to use as a base to hold the whole sculpture up. From there, I drew the outlines and extra lines for each part of the sculpture to make it appear more 2D comic book-like. Then, I was done with the project.

Not the biggest fan of this project, but it got done and it wasn’t completely bad looking. I think if I had more time and motivation to work on this project, it could have ended up looking better.
