Marrickville High School's Archibull Adventure
It's all hands on deck! Sorry for the delay with the blog, there's just been so much work to do at the moment and our herd hasn't had a moment's peace. Our progress so far has consisted of sketching, painting and laminating; working towards the final masterpiece that will be our Archibull! Our first plan of attack was transferring our designs onto the bull, so we could begin sketching them so we could begin the next process, which was painting. The colour scheme of our bull is blue: beautiful shades of indigo, navy and sky blue. As each section of the bull has its own unique design, we had to ensure that the bull was not all just a massive blob of blue paint, so we came up with an ingenious plan! We're making denim pockets consisting of vital facts about Australian cotton and it's industry. The facts add a pop of colour to our Indigo bull whilst educating our audience of statistics, solutions to problems that have been faced over the years and other amazing occurrences within Australia's cotton industry. The fact pockets also made our bull interactive and '3D' which engages the audience into absorbing the information. When brainstorming ideas together, we agreed on making our bull denim themed as a lot of Australian cotton is used to make Australian denim. We created artsy posters to inform the school community that we are desperate for some denim for our Archibull! Gladly, our questions were "herd" as many people donated the jeans they didn't need anymore toward a good cause. With the donated denim, we reused it to create denim socks for our Archibull the wear, using the pockets of the jeans to hold the fact cards and we are also going to use the denim in part of our design on the bull.
