taameen**sparks** Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Okay so a while back my ceramics teacher assigned us a project in which we were supposed to create found object art such as *ahem* This: So I got a scale (like the kind they use to symbolize justice) and I decided I would try to create two sides fighting on each side. I got some toy soldiers and put them on each side. And now I present my issue; IT LOOKS PATHETIC AND WEAK AND LIKE SHIT AND OMG I NEED TO MAKE THIS BETTER. Any ideas on how to make this look like two sides waging a war on each other? :\ Please reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taameen**sparks** Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well I guess I can describe it. It's a large scale with artificial ivy wrapped around it. on each side they are two small groups of miniscule toy soldiers. i feel like the soldiers don't fit the project and aren't creating the theme I want to portray.

Cheese Nip 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think that's very cool actually. I'd make the soldiers stand up. Maybe make some kind of moss ground on each side of the scale they can stand in? I don't know. I think this is a cool idea!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Defs use something to make them stand (blu-tac? glue?) and then see how you feel about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empily Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 maybe tiny splatters of crimson paint to look like blood :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moss does sound very interesting so thank you! Defs use something to make them stand (blu-tac? glue?) and then see how you feel about it Right now I'm just seeing what I should use before I do any gluing. maybe tiny splatters of crimson paint to look like blood :P Yeah that would be very realistic! Thanks! My friend suggested i use chess pieces but I think I like the ideas you guys suggested to make it look more realistic! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
