Written Description of What Language Looks Like

Written Description of the Project

            In this project “What Language Looks Like” we were organized into groups of four to collaborate ideas on how to construct a given word into a large three-dimensional cut out. We were instructed to brainstorm ideas on how to construct our word in a way that portrays the meaning in either a subtle or obvious way. Our group decided to look at all the possibilities of (contrast) and use cardboard to build it into a large three-dimensional model. Since one of our letters had to be at least three feet, we also had to take that into account with the building process. Our group build various paper models, drew out a map, and then made more refined smaller models until we settled on one main idea. Then once we had that established, we traced our giant letters on the projector in a future font so that we could outline the tracing on the cardboard. Then we had to figure out a way to put the pieces together via hot glue, tape, etc. and make the craft look exceptional. Then once the letters were completed we had to find a location that helped portray the meaning of our word even more and place it there in a unique way. For our photo book we had to photograph and document out letters in three locations that depicted the meaning of the word and also add the process photos.
