Model Theatre

Another uni project, all my work. A 1:25 scale theatre made from black foamboard. 1:25 scale sets designed for the Grimm fairytale Ashputtel, set in World War 2 British countryside. This includes an indoor fireplace scene, outside the house and outside during a street party or dance. The props include a chair and table made from coffee sticks, a tree made from wire and modelling clay and some logs made from rolled up paper, all of which were painted using acrylics. I also made a model of a person, to give a sense of scale, out of wire and modelling clay and again painted with acrylics. I have included the bible sheets for the costumes of Ashputtel. I also made bunting out of small pieces of fabric folded over thread.

The idea of this module was to take one of the Grimm fairytales and change its genre, hence why Ashputtel is suddenly set in Britain during World War 2!
