TASK
Using a conceptual approach, develop a self-portrait based on a three-dimensional form –
a box which measures 12cm x 12cm x 12cm.
You may explore the volume outside, or inside the box if it relates to your focus.
How you interpret, perceive or alter the form will be determined by the message you wish to convey about yourself through the work.
The work should be completed and presented so that it is seen as a record of your thoughts, beliefs, opinion and reactions – therefore personal in nature.

This sculpture has many different ways of representing me as who I am, one side by having pom pom and showing that I am soft and kind, the reflecting side showing what I do every day and that is reflect on the day that has just past or the week, month or year. This box has to different sides to it as it has a colorful side displaying funny, energetic and playful Will and the dark side showing the not as energetic side and sad and scared side.

The idea that I have developed are for you look through the eyes of the masks to look at the reflection of the mask showing some of the feeling that I have. Some feelings are loving with fluffy pom poms caring with silk for softness harsh with sticks and the things that I love doing with images. Some of the consequences that I had to deal with are things that didn’t go to plan when making and having to remake it.

My artwork is about the life choices you have to face and make in life, whether it be the easy way or hard way. By choosing the easy route in life the rewards will remain minimal and the self respect you have for yourself will dramatically decline. The pathway I chose to represent the easy route was just a plain set of stairs, this symbolizes the usage of something simple in comparison to the swirly stairs on the hard side. The easy route in life is what many people do spend time together with friends, party all the time and not caring about their future till a further date.
The hard route in life is represented by a swirly pathway, which symbolizes how life isn’t just one straight line all the way up. As shown in the artwork the white pathway finishes a lot higher than the plan set of stairs representing that the harder path you choose in life will always come with great rewards.

“Home of Cards” is a 12x12x12 self portrait visually representing my life as a wave in an ocean, revealing the many ups and downs of life shown with the texture of the ocean wave.
The reason I used only playing cards and glue as my media for my artwork is because cards are not only used to play but to create houses of cards which is an extreme test of patience since they are difficult to stack. Using only playing cards as my main media is used to show how any lives including mine, (represented as a wave) can easily collapse or have many setbacks and challenges just like building a house of cards. When moving from a small beachside town in Victoria called Torquay to the Gold Coast I found it challenging for me since it almost felt like my life had collapsed like a house of cards, so I decided to sculpt a wave to represent my love for the ocean in Torquay.

Box of Life is a 12x12x12 centimeter box made with special meanings.
On the outside it shows that it is trying to blend in with the modern world by using one of the most used furniture colours as the surface colour. Once you open it shows you the amount of things it may be holding onto itself, for this instance it looks like an block of wood but once you open it shows you many different things. This represents me because I try to be like my friends by agreeing with them on most things but I also like many different things such as basketball tennis chess and art.

My 12x12 box shows thing that are important to me such as my dog things I enjoy such as wakeboard and jet skies and my school these relate to me because I do these in my everyday life.

My 12x12x12 self-portrait sculpture is titled ‘BoomBox’.
This piece represents my time in various choirs since 2016 and in the music department. The base is a mesh wire frame covered in paper maché music sheets with a colourful boombox in the middle to contrast with the black and white. I decided to go this way because, at this point in my life, senior choir and accafellas are a big part of it and I would like it to be memorable in this 12x12x12 form.
SAM STEPHENSON
I have created my 12x12x12 “Self Portrait” box by using materials and items found in and around the art room. I used different items such as nails, screws, hot glue to assemble and put together my piece. I used mirrors and various colors of paint to decorate and make my piece look better – for the paint, I used the three colors red, white, and blue to represent TSS; I have done this because my piece as a whole, has a relation to me, in which, although at first nothing seems special about me, me and my family have a very long history at the school. This includes uncles, cousins, my grandfather, great uncles and great grandfather, even my great great grandfather who has since passed but was once a teacher during the early days of TSS. The main meaning of my art-piece is that nothing is as its seems and that everything in life has a deeper meaning.

My artwork is about the life choices you have to make in life and it matters which way you can choose. You can either go through the left side, start out great, have fun with friends, don’t care about your future and just have fun for you early years. Go through the right side where there is challenges in the way, obstacles and things stopping you from what you want to achieve. Nothing you do in life is going to be easy and that you have to the hard way to achieve things you want in life. When you go around the corner on the left side you end up with nothing, emptiness, but there is a mirror for reflections to reflect on what choices you have made and to go back and rethink. On the other hand going around the corner on the right side you end up with happiness bright and colorful life to end of on. It shows what dedication gets you and that you need to make hard choices in life and do what you want to do.

In my 12 by twelve box my idea was to put things that were important to me on the box, like my dogs sports I like, my jet ski and the school emblem. I wasn’t able to finish my box unfortunately leaving it as just a painted box the colors do represent something the yellow being where I was going to put a picture of my dogs and sports and the blue being about boating, jet skiing and gaming with the white being about the school.
JAYDEN SHEAHAN
My idea for my assessment is to make a 3D box that you can look in from the side. I made an opening front to add a light shining effect on the rugby pitch inside

This 12x12x12 artwork consists of two sections. The outside is a cityscape of the entire Gold Coast compacted together shown by the Q1 I made in the back corner above everything. This part of the box symbolizes the place I live. The box opens into the second section, a beautiful Japanese temple with lush grass and a calm rocky water stream. This piece of work symbolizes my life and how the gold coast is where I live, but on the inside, I am from Japan where the lifestyle is very different from the Gold Coast.

My art piece has many different ways of representing me. The first would be how the right side is about life in school and what I enjoy, such as boarding and sports. The other way this has represented me is on the left side - it is showing my culture and family. This side is probably the hardest side to do with the dot painting but i'm very proud of this side because of the story it really is telling.
My artwork has represented who I am through the things I love the most being TSS as home away from home with mates and brothers also having many different opportunities in the sporting field. The other side is family and culture and it tells me that I know i'll always have my family around me.
