How to prepare the box for the low relief: 1. Measure up from the bottom of the box one inch using a ruler, mark it all around the box, then cut entire perimeter with a scissor. 2. Now that your box is more like a tray, line the inside and the sides with aluminum foil. Wrap around the edges with tape once. 3. Cut slits about one inch into and against the perimeter of the edges, but the cut must stop before it hits the bottom of the box. 4. Using string that you took from class or that you may have at home, wrap the rope around the box making sure that at each pass, it is caught between the slits that you cut into the edges. Remember from the class demonstration that the rope needs to wrap around the bottom of the box. 5. Make sure your name is on the back. 6. Drop off your box in art room inthe morning so that the plaster cam be poured and hardened before you come to class. 7. Remember your photograph that shows depth. Objects should be large with lots of detail and there should be objects in front of each other. 8. Draw a sketch of it and bring that to class also. You are going to start carving the low relief tomorrow. Sorry for the rush but that's what we have to do since I only see you two days a week. Look at the examples in the power point presentation. Also, if you were paying attention during the class demonstration, you should have no problems. See you all tomorrow morning.
