P1 – Final Submission: Color Painting, Assembling & Exhibition
Project 1 – In Groups of 3 or 4 students
This is a physical, in-person submission. Each group will present their completed composition as part of the Class Exhibition.
Final marks will reflect your attention to:
- Craftsmanship and colour execution (smooth finishes, clean gradients)
- Consistency and alignment across shapes
- Laser-cutting precision and structural assembly
Painting & Assembly Guidelines
Your group must:
- Apply solid colours to each shape to produce a gradient effect across the composition
- Use only hand-mixed paints from primary colours, white, and black
- Follow your HSV-based palette plan submitted in Part 2
⚠️ Visible brush strokes, uneven finishes, or unpainted sides will result in grade deductions.
Painting Protocol:
- Lightly sand all pieces to remove burn marks or imperfections from laser-cutting before painting
- Paint each shape white first before applying colour
- Use 2–3 thin, even layers of colour
- Let paint dry completely between layers
- Ensure consistency of colour progression and tone across all pieces
- ⚠️ Don’t forget to paint your base too before assembling
Assembly Instructions:
- Assemble your structure following your sketch plan
- Use minimal glue and ensure secure connections
- Keep spacing, layering, and alignment consistent and intentional
⚠️ Visible glue marks or misaligned pieces will result in grade deductions.
🖼️ Exhibition Setup (in class)
You will install your final group project during our Class Exhibition Session.
Display Requirements:
