Canada Model

Last model for my stereotype G8 Models. 

So this is Canada and after all the other models that I have done this one is the one that I'm most proud of because I've have used the right materials so it looks and feels real. The design for him I made a bit error because the brown strap was on the wrong side so I change that when it came to making it.

Review 

On my G8 Models

• That it was harder than I though it will be.
•  Had to think which bits go where and how are you going to glue them together.
• Should try EVEN MORE materials like glass, metal, clay, different types of paint (e.g. water colours), pens, pencil, wood/sticks, plastic.......
• The Model that I enjoy the most to make was ENGLAND because I was born in England, had SOO many ideas that it was hard for me to narrow it down plus it was my first model to make.
• The Model that I least enjoy was FRANCE because it wasn't a challenge to make should of done using fabric for the clothes so it feels real insted of using tissue paper.

FUTURE PLANS

 How am I going to make it even better.

• Design packaging for the Box Boy to be display
• Improve Models (re-make some or all) by use other materials that I didn't use.
• Photography (taking picture of them and editing them so it can be used for adverting, comic skits, posters)
• Design other object with the similar theme to Box Boy like handbags, lunch boxes, pencil case, pen/pencils, clothes, computers, rooms, furniture, toys, notebooks/dairy/folders.......
•  Make online paper craft and see if other people can make them

Germany And Russia Models

For these two Models I made it a little bit different because insted of gluing the hat you can remove it whenever you like so if you want to change or swap hats you can and its very easy to do.

Note - Masking Tap is a very good for adding colour, layering and texture to the model.

Because Russia is a very cold country and in most stereotype images they have them wearing furry hats, so I wanted my model to have that so I used old black furry hat for it.

Note - Was abit hard to handle because the fur so too long so if I got the time I will fine a different material for the model hat.

America and France Models

 The most common image for an French person. The classic mustache, black hat (next time make it less boxy when making the french hat).

There was soo many different stereotype images for Amercia. From a fat, red neck, superman, Captain America, Indian Jones Outfit, etc etc. So I pick the Cowboy because it all started in America and because it know where he from easily than the other styles.

Japan Stereotype Model/Designs

Japan Model made out off different colour fabric and tissue paper.

Took me a lot of time because it was hard gluing it together with just PVA glue so next time I use fabric I try an stronger type of glue also need to get fabric scissors so it leave a nice clean cut.

The final design for this model I think next time I should look at what colour materials I have in my house first then go and make the model because for the blue coat it has a hit of red and its very dark so I had to paint the fabric first then wait to its dry before I glue it to the body which take a lot of time.

I really wanted to do this design because everybody love ninja and I think it will be great because ninjas started in japan HOWEVER some people will think it might be Chinese, don't ask but a lot of because can't tell the difference between Japanese  and Chinese so that why I did the Kimono design.  

More design

These are the real design that I'm using for making my model design.

I think this country was really hard to stereotype because most of the time they always talk about the second world war and then being nazi and I don't people to think there the bad people still because it was ALL in the past and yea you have to remember the past to improve your future but when you designing models you want them to be fun so I look into there old fashion.

Canada was to me very easy because I will always remember these army outfits.

Cowboys for America because it started there and it sort of shows that care free and adventure hunting side to them.

Italy Model

Finish the model of Italy but as an roman army style by using tinfoil for the armour and different materials for the outfit insted of just using paint the colours like what I did for the England model.

Italy Designs

Starting on the next Model but my next target is to use some other material to make it.

First design of The Roman Army

Mafia Man

Using the first design for the roman army but making it much better by adding more armour to his body and now colouring it by using SketchBookExpress.

Design

My Model of a Stereotype version of a English person. Just by using paper, paints and glue to put it all together.

British Policeman

British Army

These are some other designs for England.

Design

Main body for the paper model "Box Boy". 

First Colour and using SketchBookExpress to draw a stereotype of a british person this reason is because the game Monopoly its from London which is the Capital city of England.

G8 Meeting edited

Using real like images from the G8 meeting and creating there stereotype from there countries using the computer for editing. This show use how different each person is and about there countries back ground because of there well know outfit from each area.

Subject Project

Hello is been sometime I've blog something so for are next term we are can pick a subject(s) or matter(s) that we are passionate about it and for are vacation homework we have to do evidence/research about it.

So mine is going to be about Stereotype. Not because I'm racist, its to do with my family and how mix they are. For starter a lot of my family are not from England, like my grandad he is from china and after the World War 2 he moved to England to find a better life, also some family members live outside of England so we have to travel to see them which is really good because I get to see there different lifestyle, atmosphere of the cities/towns.

SO for my first bit a of research I've been looking at how stereotype effect us in socially or by the media, and to my surprise it effects us a lot. Take this Photo on the right people who have social network (e.g. Facebook) using these images to tag there friends. It's interesting because they are looking at what stand out from the rest of there group and try to find a stereotype version on them to show what they are.

Because there a lot of information about this I wanted to find someone that was related to me so I moved to the countries stereotypes.

So I got myself a full World Map and pick out info about anything to do with countries. It can buildings, history, food, lifestyle, facts anything that makes that country different from the rest.
