Canvas
http://www.jerrysartarama.com
Canvas is
an
extremely
durable
material
used to
make
tents sails
or cover
structures
that can
be painted.
Can be used to stretch over wooden
structures and be painted. For example
the castlein beauty and the beast could
have canvas stretched over itand be
painted to reduce costs becausecanvas
is quitecheap.
When paintinguseoil based as water
based would soak through and more or
less stain thematerial.Oil based would
cover and colour the canvas.Art
materials could betoxic if eaten. Avoid it
being near your mouth.
Can be used to cover framework
structures and be painted to add colour.
Could also be used to decorate the
costumes or make the costumes
because itis durable.Could be used to
simulatethe flamefor lumieres hand
Leather
-softer material better for costumes.
-More aesthetically pleasing
leather
www.heddels.com
Is a material that is flexibledurableand
produced from cattle hide.
Could be used to decorate costumes as
it is quitea soft material.Looks quite
appealingand is durable.For example
the beasts jacketcould either be made
out of leather or decorated with leather
Cannot paintleathern itmust be tanned
or brought the colour that is wanted.
Must not be eaten as it could be toxic if
digested. No other safety considerations
as the material doesn’t releasefumes
when cut.
Can be used to decorate costumes
because itlooks very appealingor could
be used to make the costume. Wouldn’t
be good for use on stage set as itis not
that durableand not very apply ableto
wood and studwork
Canvas
-Canvas is more durableso is better
for use on stage set.
-canvas can bepainted but leather
cant.
Paper Mache
http://www.instructables.com
Is a material made out of pieces of
paper bound with glue
This material is very versatileas itcan
be used to form sold structures in any
shapethat you want because before it
dry it’s very malleable.Could be used to
make the shapeof the beasts head
because itcould be layered on, dried
and painted
If eaten or digested could dry insidethe
body and causeserious injury.So if used
to make the beasts head would have to
be done with a mask on. Storage isn’t
really a problemas it is made of two
components. However the glue mustn’t
be mixed with water otherwise itmay
become diluted.
Can be used to make intricateshapes for
costumes such as Mrs pots and the
breasts head. This is becauseitis very
apply ablewhen wet and very ridged
when dry. Can also beused to make the
props if intricateshapes areneeded.
Clay
-When dry clay is much stronger
-is water proof when
Oil based paint
https://upload.wikimedia.org
Oil
based paintis a slowdryingpaintthat
consists of coloured pigment suspended
in oil.
Can be used to paintcanvas as itis thick
and gloopy and will not be soaked up by
the canvas.Also can be used to paint
glass dueto the thick nature of the
paint.Can be used to paintthe castleor
paintthe bridge for the show itself.
The coloured pigment within the paint
can be highly toxic so if ingested seek
medical attention. Therefore when
paintingwhere a mask. Also do not let it
get mixed with other paintor diluted
with other liquidsas itmay ruin the
paint.Oil based when dryingreleases
fumes. So stay out of rooms when it
dry’s.
Oil based paintcan be used to paint
canvas and could be used to paintwood.
However water based is better for
paintingwood. Can also beused to paint
the beasts mask or any props made out
of paper Mache.
Water Based paint
-Easier to apply as itis thinner
-Water based paintis cheaper

2. RESEARCH TASK1 - SET CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Water based paint http://www.paintdoctor.co.za
Is a liquid with coloured pigment
suspended in water.
This paintis not as thick as oil based so
is better for paintingwoodwork. But
may need an undercoat. Because this is
more viscous thewood absorbs the
paintmore so stains itbetter. So can be
used to stain and paintthe wood work
on the castleor the bridge for the main
stage set
Because this is more viscous than oil
based paintthere is a higher risk of it
being ingested and still containstoxic
pigments. Ensure mask is beingused
when used. Also fumes may be released
when drying. So avoid contactat this
stage.
This is the best paintto use for wood
work as the wood soaks up the liquid
and lets the colour stain it.Water based
is also cheaper and more apply ableas it
is less gloopy and more liquidly.Can be
applied to the castleor the bridge on the
stage
Oil Based Paints
-Water resistantonce dry
-Is thicker so covers material more
than water based becausewater
based soaks in
