OUTCOMES:  

What worked?
The PVA covering of the items assisted in the construction of each piece, making it more durable and providing extra strength. It also resulted in a semi-gloss appearance which added to the aesthetic style of the items in the model box.
What didn’t work?
The technique that was going to be utilized to create a dark area behind the mirror areas was ineffective, and wouldn’t produce the required effect. The sheet used, also, wasn’t large enough to cover the frame that was built for it, and allowed too much light through to create a dark enough area.

CONCLUSION:

What have you learned from these processes?
Coating items in PVA adds to their durability, and creates a shiny gloss appearance, which produces an intricate effect that can be used for various items.

How will this help you develop your design?
The versatility means that it can be used for various techniques, which improve both the aesthetic appearances of a piece and how they are constructed. It will help to secure many different materials together with a strong bond.

Did you manage your time well? If not what would you change?
All the construct tasks were completed by the end of the week, meaning that the piece was ready to be transported and performed after tech and dress rehearsals.
