Make Your Bed - Oh And A Chest Too

Materials:
White copy paper, Winsor Newton ink set, Exacto knife, cut matt, water and brushes for ink.
DO NOT USE TAPE, GLUE, STAPLES or ADHESIVE OF ANY KIND.
DO NOT USE CARD STOCK.
Take pictures of the work in process to post on your blog.

Assignment: Make a small scale paper model of your bed. Respond to the reading of Kafka and Bachelard by constructing an object/form of metamorphosis and a chest to contain the object/form.

Step 1 - Take a picture of your actual bed. Post picture on the blog you created for this class.
Step 2 - Read Kafka and Bachelard handouts. Do a vocab list, outline and response for each handout. Handwrite in your moleskin notebook.
Step 3 - Construct paper bed. Remember, no tape or glue. Use ink for color.
Step 4 - Using the writing of Kafka and Bachelard as inspiration, ask yourself what you would turn into. Construct this object/form using the same processes as above - white copy, no tape or glue. You may want to employ molding methods for this portion of the assignment by wetting paper and setting over a mold to dry in order to make your desired shapes/forms. This object/form should fit inside the chest. Use ink for color.
Step 5 - Construct chest. The chest is of your own design and it should accomodate the object/form you created above. Again, no tape or glue. Use ink for color.
Step 6 - Photograph finished work and put on class blog. Make sure the photograph you take to document the work is professional quality.

Checklist:
Paper Bed, Paper Chest, Paper Object of Metamorphosis, Kafka handout (vocab, outline, response in your molesking), Bachelard handout (vocab, outline, response in your moleskin), process pictures on your blog, final solution pictures on your blog.
