Into the Spider-Verse: Parallel Dimensions
3 Dimensional Messages
Student Work
"The message “You can’t spell quarantine without, U, R, A, Q, T,” was just something that I had come up with. I was texting someone and we were making jokes about the quarantine and that message just popped into my head. And I thought that it was really funny, so I just wrote it down in a notebook. When this project came up I decided to use that quote. It’s just something funny and quirky that might get a few chuckles, let alone some eye roles.
I definitely felt like this project was worth it. It was something fun and creative to do during distance learning. People could express their thoughts and ideas about this whole pandemic in their creative piece. Some people made it inspiring and others made it funny. We all are going through this differently and we were able to show that with this project." |
"For this project I went about thinking about the current situation and the things I often tell myself when I'm under stress. I always think about the idea that the sun is still shining because the sun is essential to our very well being. I went about putting my model with the sun on it is for everyone that you know walks by they can see the sun and it hopefully already ate some form of positivity for them.
The reason I created the sun is still shining message is because it's an important reminder for all of us that no matter the times we are in we still have to reflect on the fact that we are alive and there's this thing that radiates heat and love towards us the sun. |
"The process for creating our 2d image and my 3d model was both easy and hard. My group had a difficult time coming up with a message we wanted the world to hear because we had so many good ideas. We thought that “anyone can do little, but together we can do so much” was the most effective for right now. Sometimes humans tend to work against each other instead of working with each other. If we work together and stand with each other change will happen. The message for my 3d model was a rectangular prism with a star on the top. Something that I always need to remember is that everything is going to be okay in the end. Even though there will be hard times, there will be amazing times as well. The star represents that no matter what battle you are fighting you always need to keep pushing and not give up. "

"I decided to make a cube! Originally, there would be two people separated by a piece of glass, with only a small heart connecting them, but seeing with what’s going on now with the BLM movement, I decided to change it up a bit. There’s only one person in the middle, they’re wearing a mask, they have lines on both of their hands, one has two black lines for the BLM movement, the other has rainbow lines to represent pride month. The cube is painted black with a heart on a pillar. Half of the heart is outlined in white, but fully black inside. The other half of it is a rainbow. I based my model on the current events. On the bottom, I painted “We can make a change”. I wanted my model to be based on important things that I myself feel passionate about. It was definitely worthwhile."

"We started off by creating a message that we wanted to say to the world. After brainstorming, I presented “We’re in the history books. Smile!” to my group mates, and eventually decided to use it because we liked the sound of it. I think the message was a good choice because it can apply to anything in time, not just what is going on right now. I also feel like it could be a little motivation to make your life meaningful. After the message, we were told to make a poster to go with it. I drew the rough draft, a picture of a girl reading a book with the message written across the top. Unfortunately, I broke a finger on my dominant hand in between the time of the rough and final draft of the poster, so I was unable to finish it. I asked a group member to help out and she agreed and we were able to finish it on time. Following the making of the poster, individually we had to sketch a model that showed our message in some way, and also had to incorporate a 3-dimensional object of our choosing. I decided on a square pyramid as my 3-dimensional shape and that a book of some sort should also be in the model, being held up by a stand. Once the model was sketched out and scaled, our job was to build it. Since I couldn’t go out and buy anything I had to find things from around my house. I gathered cardboard, paint, and hot glue and got to work. I cut out the shapes, glued them together, and painted them. Looking at the poster and 3-dimensional model, I notice that there would be some differences in impact if I were to be seeing them for the first time. The poster is more straight-forward than the model, because it has the actual message on it, so you get the message that is coming across easier. The model relies more on symbolism, because there are no words on it, so you would have to look into it more. But I think it gets the message across well enough. I think the message is in the book, because it represents the history book that you are in."
