For our project we used the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as our theme. We chose this movie because we wanted our theme and display to be as edible as our awesome cupcakes. The main emphasis of our display is our chocolate waterfall. The waterfall is the part of our display and held the most cupcakes. We used leading lines, our chocolate river, to help emphasize the waterfall. The chocolate icing in the river also helped to show rhythm and movement. The rhythm and movement shown in the icing is also an example of tactile texture.
Other tactile textures we displayed are in the platforms made of cookies, crumbled cookies at the base of the waterfall, and sand mixed into paint for the structure of the waterfall. Implied texture was in the painting of our tree trunks. We created values for the hills. The tops of the hills have been painted a lighter green than the base of the hills. Value was also used at the base of the waterfall. We made that section a lighter brown to imitate foaming of the river.
The waterfall shows balance, symmetry, and the use of odd numbers. Each side of the waterfall held the same number of cupcakes with one cupcake at the center. This gave us our balance and symmetry. We used odd numbers by having a total of seven cupcakes on the structure of the waterfall. Odd numbers is also used on the trees because we had three of them. The entire structure of our display and our cupcakes demonstrate variety as we used various designs on the cupcakes themselves and different ways to display the cupcakes.
Arty on!
