Street Art around São Paulo

Issues

So far, I had two big issues.
The first one was that I needed a box with precise measurements and height. I had the idea to ask my joiner to make one. However, he lives in Itatiba (interior of SP) and it would take a while to get it done. My mom and I went to a store that sells wooden items to paint and I found a box that looks more or less like this:

As it was not the way I wanted, I bought a cutting knife specially to cut this type of wood and reshaped the box to this structure:

I solved my problem in the best way possible and everything worked out just fine! I was very happy with that.

My second issue has been to find the transparent resin. I went to a store called "A Casa do Artista" (http://www.acasadoartista.com.br/) to see if they had it, and they didn't. I called another store called "Pintar" (http://pintar.com.br/) and they also didn't have it. I tried to call the store called "Avipol" (http://www.avipol.com.br/), which is the store where the resin from school is, but they did not answer me. I did send them an email I am looking forwards for them to answer me! I will see if I can go to their store, even though it is in the other side of São Paulo, or call them tomorrow as soon as possible.

Without the resin my work will not be the way I want. As I am determined, I know I will get this resin. How? I don't have an idea, but I will! Hahaha

Evaluation on the third lesson

In the third lesson I managed to bring my box all ready to start!
In order to have the box the way I wanted, I cut some parts and painted it all white. I then glued it the way I wanted and as a result, it stayed the way I wanted.
During the lesson, I did my collage (background) and painted a heart (which I will place in the Love compartment).
I also did an experiment to see if the pictures would blur once I put the resin. Fortunately, it didn't!
I am very happy with my work so far, even though I have to go all around town to get the materials I require in order to be exactly the way I want.

Evaluation on the second lesson

In my second lesson of Creative Arts I finally decided what I was going to do.
I decided to make a box and divide it into five parts, and in each part I will represent a different feeling.
The box will look roughly like this:

As you can see, the boxes will have the following themes: Secrets, Happiness, Memories, Sadness and Love.

For each of them I made a collage with some pictures as background, representing each theme. For an example, in Happiness, I put pictures of things that make me happy and that I enjoy doing nowadays.

I will not only do a simple collage, but I will also put some items related to each theme and put a layer of resin for the objects not to fall and stay intact forever. For an example, in Memories, I will put items that remind me of childhood, such as dolls, necklaces I used to make, etc.

I hope I can find everything I want to make it the way I picture in my mind!
