Mini Stage




In the Art class i made a mini stage of the myth or ledgend called The Adventures of Ulysses. The part from the book The Adventures of Ulysses was when Ulysses and his mens go climbed the giant's foot and all his mens got eaten but Ulysses survived.For my stage i colored the stage dark brown, so i will go with the part i'm doing. I choose this story because i know it because i read it and i know the details of this story then the other story i know.For the back drop i draw a giant's feet that looks like a tree, for the back ground of the backdrop i also made it dark brown and in the back drop every thing was dark a scary. For the wings i used the black cardboard and cut it out as bkack dead trees. For the grass in front of the stage i used green cardboard and some strings to do them. For the grass i made them by sticking the strings to the cardboard and then paint it green. I also made some decorations by using strings. For the decorations i did it by putting the string in the glue and then paint many colors on the strings, then put it on and around the stage to make it more like a forest.

How to make a mini stage:

1. Get a box about 35 cm
2. Get glue and paper to do paper mache around the box( no need to do the bottom part)
3. After that wait for it to dry and then mkae the backdrop(background)
4.Paint the box the color you want it to be
5.Make the wings( wings is the thing that is at the left and right of the stage)
6. Make something low in front like grass.
Optional 7. Decorate it
For Example if your stage is having a party you can put some ribbons on your stage so it looks more like a party.

In my opinion i like this project it was fun. I think if i need to do something like this again i would try to make the paper i need to stick the box in the first step more neat.

    Wave,this is quite a good reflection. Pictures would be great.
    Why made you think about doing this scene and this myth?
    Your stage is very good.
