Brief:

We have to create an art piece up to 10 ft width x 7 ft height x 2 ft depth (to fit within the roving truck) + incorporate balloon element. Needs to be painted over to cover all brands of inhalers. This art piece needs to be made using Asthma inhalers and medication blister packs.

This is a collaboration with GSK's #GiveBack movement in an effort to spread awareness of the harm these medical packaging waste cuase the environment when not disposed of properly. They want to encourage people to turn in their medical packaging waste so that it can be recycled instead of adding to the environmental pollution that is already so high. This is part of their long-term ambition of delivering net zero emissions across all operations by 2030.

Division of Work:
This entire process of making the prototype took a lot of work, planning and collaboration.

Research
For using paper mache we looked at this site click here.

From this site Felt Magnet, we learned that paper mache would be good for smoothing the texture of the sculpture, and also to add some weight and structure, but under the paper mache we will still need scaffolding like plastic bottles, or tubes or wood or wire this would act as the bone, where as the paper mache would act as the muscle, ideally the blister packs would be the skin.


There were also a variety of different paper machesmixtures we can choose to use, like using flour or flue, i think we should stick with flour because it will be stronger and a bit more elastic. There are also different paper mache consistencies like more of a mash with shredded paper or bigger flatter pieces of paper simply cut into pieces ideally used to smoothen the texture of the sculpture.
