Week 9: Ghost Costume Making

Ghost Costume Making

This week, we are grouped into a new group. We are given the task to design a costume that will help us to keep evil monsters away.

These are the materials we use for the costume  making: cellophane papers, garbage bag, masking tape, rope and 2 paper plates.

 

 

 

We need to choose one person from our group to be our model for the costume. After discussion, we decide to let Vicky be our model. Due to limited garbage bag, we have to strategise by choosing the smallest among us and that's Vicky!

Then, we discuss and sketch our costume.

 

 

 

There are also some traits that we must add to the costume in order to make the evil spirits think that our model is one of them and hence we can survive the night and leave SPOOKS Island by sunrise. They are as follows:

1. Only have 3 fingers

We use masking tape to create three monster's fingers.
 

One of them is for the thumb. The other two are made big enough to fit two fingers into one masking-tape-monster finger.

 

 

2. No eyes on face.

For this trait, we decide to make the front part of the costume be applied on the back of Vicky's body. Hence, the back view of Vicky's head and hair will be the face of our monster. So, there is no eyes on the monster's face.

This trait says there is no eyes on the face. So we draw a conclusion that there might be eye on different parts of the monster's body.

We decide to make one of the paper plate given to us to be the eye of the monster. We decorate it with black marker and red pen.

 

 

 

3. Have very long hair.

Vicky's hair is not long enough. Hence, we use rope to make her hair longer. 

We tie the rope onto her hair.

 

 

 

4. Body part must contain two unmodified paper plate.

So, we decorate the other paper plate given to us to create disgusting wounds for the monster.

These are the two unmodified paper plates. We place the eye paper plate on the middle part of the body and the wounds paper plate on the other hand of the monster to cover up the five fingers on Vicky's right hand as the monster is supposed to only have 3 fingers.

 

 

 

5. Almost 50% covered with black tar (garbage bag).

 

We make a dress out of the garbage bag.

 

Then, for additional decoration, we cut cellophane papers into small rectangles and add them into the body and the arms of the monster to show monster's scales.

 

This is our final outcome! Our monster!

 

And here we are!!!:)
