For our Elements of Design final project, we had to create a table setting with a theme in mind. This had to incorporate everything we learned that term, including: spot, line, shape, figure organization, texture, value, color, mood and balance.
The theme: Mad Hatter Tea Party. Fun right??! Well, maybe at the beginning and end but while we were fixing up it was crazy! We were given a 10 feet x 10 feet space, we had to make it look like it was wonderland.
So what we did was created a background that made our little space in the classroom feel like a forest, we stuck dried leaves on plastic and put some dried up tree branches on the sides. Added a little color with the pompoms we hung on the ceiling and combined different types of chairs that were old. (thankfully Jocar’s family have a furniture shop! we had a blast picking which chairs to use). To make it a bit more inviting, we put persian carpets under the area of the table and chairs.
Our setting was a bit too formal for our teacher, he was expecting something more MAD, although he thought the look was great.
I had so much fun being Alice and as a group we had so much fun sharing our food with the other groups! We got to taste different types of food because the other teams had crazy themes too: pirates, spring garden, beach sunset, masquerade, valentines brunch. A fun way to start the end of the first term of PSID! :)
