Set decoration materials
- 1. RESEARCH TASK1 - SET CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS Setdecoration material Physical descriptionsupportedwith photograph/ diagram Explanationonhowitcan be usedas a decoration material withexamples Safetyconsiderationswhenusing materialsincludingreferencetoin- use and storage Explanationof the various applicationtechniques Comparisonof performance againsta possible alternative Paint Polyurethane Gloss: Shiny, clear/amber tint, transparent, gloss paint (oil based) Vinyl Silk: Can come in lots of bright colours, vibrant, silk finish, emulsion paint (water based) Eggshell: Kind of shiny but also kind of like a matt emulsion paint, comes in mostly light colour shades. PG Paint: Finishes on furniture like cabinets and doors (E.G Any wooden furniture props in the Beast’s home, or Maurice and Belle’s homes.) VS Paint: Used to paint walls and ceilings (E.G Any sets that are included in any homes.) Eggshell Paint: Can be used for painting windows (any home sets or scenes with houses in the ‘background’.) Same for all three: Don’t get onto skin, into eyes, and may cause breathing problems if inhaled too much. Wear goggles, wear gloves, put on any old clothing you don’t mind being stained by the paint, and either paint in a well ventilated area or use a respirator. No explanation really needed: use a brush to apply the paint onto the surface you want to paint. Takes around an hour to dry, apply any extra coats afterwards. Eggshell VS Vinyl Silk: Eggshell has less of a shine to it, whereas Vinyl Silk is a finisher made to give a polished appearance Silk paints are more practical Eggshell has a more classicallook (ideal for a story like Beauty And the Beast which is set quite far back) Papier Maché Image Source: Blue Maize Made of paper and glue pressed together Can be made into anything, so it can come in a variety of different shapes Can be thick or thin depending on what is being made and by who Endless possibilities Can be used to make various props (Chip’s teacup could be made from papier mache if wished.) Can be used to make masks, costume elements and sets (Cogsworth, Mrs Potts and Lumiere may have papier mache elements to their costumes.) Instant paper mache can contain toxic substances (avoid this one.) PVA glue is the most ideal to use when making paper mache props and items (water based is easier to work with. Although make sure that you don’t get the glue in your eyes. Maybe wear goggles. Skin is safe though.) Rip newspaper into strips, long and short. Mix water and glue into a smooth consistency. Dip newspaper strips into glue/water mix and apply to whatever frame is being used (wire, balloon, etc.) Leave to dry for a few hours in a warm environment. Can’t find anything to compare paper mache to other than Art Roc, but I’ve already done that. Fabric Image Source: Ebay Barkcloth: Cotton printed fabric with vines, leaves and floral patterns. Faux Fur: Soft, can come in multiple colours, various patterns (stripes, spots, etc.) Silk Fabric: Smooth, soft, can come in many different colours and shades, comfortable to wear. Barkcloth: Would be used for curtains (in Beast’s castle or in any village homes), costumes like Mrs Pott’s maybe. Fauz Fur: Gaston may have faux fur props, like chairs or clothing. Beast may need faux fur for something (like any household props or maybe even part of his costume.) Silk: Would be mainly used for costumes (Belle’s dress for example may be silky or have silk features) Not really any safety issues with fabric, other than it could get caught on something, but there isn’t really much to fix that issue if it occurred. It is possible to get an allergic reaction to a certain fabric, but if you had one you would probably realise it and have to have a different fabric prop or costume to avoid you getting an allergic reaction. Another that doesn’t really need much of an explanation: just cut it to the right shape and length, sew where needed, and create the what you need from the fabric. Silk VS Barkcloth VS Faux Fur Barkcloth has a large variety of colourful patterns, Fur can have a few patterns depending on the fur, Silk is commonly a single colour fabric Barkcloth is a little rougher than silk or faux fur Silk might be a little slippery, so it may not stay in place
- 2. RESEARCH TASK1 - SET CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS Art Roc/Mod Roc Image Source: Artstraws Comes in rolls Can be used to make a lot of things, so when used can be in a variety of shapes Typically white in colour Can be used to model objects and props (though would need a wire frame to be wrapped around) Can be used to make masks Very messy, can get everywhere; best to wear clothes you don’t want to get ruined Can cause skin irritation, like most other things it seems, so wear gloves. Cut the mod roc into small strips and immerse it in water Squeeze out any excess water and wrap/layer the mod roc around the frame being used Leave to completely dry Papier Mache could be an alternative to using Art/Mod roc. Papier mache is very sturdy if you have multiple layers, and can be painted a lot too, but art/mod roc can take much less time to dry than papier mache can. Wire Image Source: Screwfix Thin Can be made of various metals Bendy and easily shaped, allowing for many different shapes and props to be made Makes a great frame for props that need to be made from Art/Mod Roc or papier mache (a frame of wire for Chip’s cup would be needed) Ends of the wire can be quite sharp, not majorly dangerous but it can hurt, so be careful when using (gloves could be worn, or maybe just cut the ends so they’re safer) Simply bend the wire to create the frame of whatever prop you’re making Start with two wires and then add more around that thin frame to improve its structure. Not really sure, what else could you use for a strong frame to make props with?
