Immersive Masterworks

Design students engaged in a creative project where they transformed famous two-dimensional masterpieces into three-dimensional shadow boxes. Utilizing materials such as posterboard, acrylic paint, markers, foam board, and glue, the students reimagined iconic paintings by carefully arranging the original elements—like cypress trees, bridges, beds, and flowers—into the foreground, middle ground, and background. This exercise not only allowed them to explore spatial relationships and perspective but also to bring a new dimension to classic artworks. The final shadow boxes were assessed based on neatness, effective use of space, and overall technique, showcasing the students' artistic skills and innovative interpretations.
