Progression : Colour Wheel
Weeks have passed by and yet we are still on the slow bandwagon.My team mates and I seem to be on the verge of cracking our skulls.Much discussions were being made an new problems seem to arise,much to the point were it almost seemed impossible to create this monstrous thing.The exploding Volcano or also modified into a tree is now again modified into a waterfall.
Yes we have indeed scratched the whole idea of making the tree spitting paint idea,instead we decided to go with the whole traditional waterfall,simply because we think that a tree spitting out rainbow foam simply doesn't make sense,not that it has to be,just that we felt it was kind of off.And the fact that it was pretty hard to built it.
A waterfall however is much more reasonable since the rainbow coloured foam would be much more nicer to flow.It will then fall into a basin made out of clear perspective.At the end of the day people can start dipping their hands,legs too if your up for it) and swivel your doubts away.
We wasted no time and started carving out the mountain shaped rocks.I used the sharp blade to slice off the foam,I kind of winged it since rocks don't have to look exact.I made them slightly sharper looking,so they look more solid.Cutting the sponge is pretty easy like slicing a knife through butter so naturally anyone can do it.
After much observing,I asked Nabil to pick up the knife and asked him to start helping me.
He gave up a few times :p
Then Olivia came to the rescue,so pretty much we did okay for the first part.The only thing was that we made a whole lot of mess.Sorry XD
After all the carving was done,we then had another problem which was how to glue the sponge foams shut together.The problem why we couldnt just use regular glue was because the florist sponge was super drying and it would just not stick.As you can see we messed around with maskin tape but that didn't quit work out either.Lastly,I thought of using those regular satay stick you can get anywhere and use those to poke holes and merge these sponge foams together.To such luck they worked splendidly although a bit of glue was still used just in case.
The night I stayed back to build and carve this white Styrofoam into little tiny waves.It was pretty tiring luckily Nabil stayed back for awhile and helped painted after I thought him how to actually mix the paint together xp
Then came the spray painting part.Nabil was really excited for this part,he volunteered to spray paint it all.Me and Olivia took turns giving him instructions as to which parts needed painting and which needed to be left out.
The finished look of the whole rainbow foam waterfall.
First of I'd like to wish everyone a warm thank you because if it wasn't for team work and dedication it would have had been impossible to finish it in time.I also wanted to thank everyone who participated and helped out our team through out the last second before our presentation.
I loved how even though each of us are in different teams we were all one and united helping each other out finishing their final touches.
