Skills Passport Artefact Final Outcome

Updated: Apr 14, 2023


Here is my Skills Passport final outcome:




I thoroughly enjoyed the process of creating the cage and Wizard elements especially working with worbla- a material I explored throughout mixed material workshops. One of the changes I made to my original concept drawings was adding the rose and Fairylights as I felt the overall finished product needed more depth and tonal contrast. Overall I am very happy with the finished product and I think it would work well in a Wizard or Witch film set, inspired by Harry Potter.

What worked well:

  • My favourite element is the spell book due to the level of detail added.

  • I feel the painting technique of dry brushing worked really well to create the distressed look.

  • My overall outcome resembles my initial design thought process and I was able to overcome the structural difficulties.

What would I improve:

  • Adding more tonal contrast between the different artefact elements as they are all brown.

  • Making a larger cage door to make it overlap the sides of the cage so that it could securely fasten.

  • To make the cage door open so that the book and wand can be easily accessed even though it is only for show.

  • Hiding the battery pack inside the book

Challenges I overcame:

  • To add more contrast, I added a red rose in line with the fairytale Wizard theme along with fairy lights to highlight the different metal textures.

  • To make the cage more sturdy I used 3 wooden circles along with doubling up the worbla strips and adding steel wire inside to create durable cage walls.

  • I found that when i added the book and wand to the cage, they slipped through the gaps and therefore to overcome this, I added a wooden base that I made using recycled wood and a saw.
