The Start of Constructing Our End of Year exhibition

It had arrived time to transform the rooms in to a presentable exhibition space, as a group we had many tasked we needed to achieve.

Such as;

-tidy the rooms

 -begin tie wrapping the table legs together in a covind space

-build boards around the cupboards and tables to create islands.

-after that we needed to sand the boards down

-remove all the mess from current years ( that they have left)

-gumstrip the joining boards together

- drill cabinets, to boards to make sure the stable

-drill pieces of wood on the inside of the joining boards

-make sure we have supplies to plug sockets

- repeat this m any times

-clean sinks and surrounding areas

-cover sinks with plinths and sounding areas with canvas

 

This is a floor plan of how the boards are going to planned out.

We began by emptying and tidying the first room so we could begin building our first island. It was up in no time atall with great help from other students.

We gradually moved down the rooms building the three islands and a  cinema space it took around a week.

Meanwhile whilst the strong boys built the island we began prepping the boards on the first island, we needed to sand them down fill holes in and seal the edges of the boards together  with gum strip and then when all this was done several time we began painting the boards. The image shown above shows the gum strip peeling off, but before we started this I had a discussion with tutors about the gum strip doing this last year and that it was easier to wide masking tape and the paint didn't peel the tape the same, and the paint grabbed to it easily.

I got tall people to help me paint the boards as I couldn't reach the top of the boards myself even standing on a chair.

The two places above were talk of maybe being my area, and after planning were everyone was going I was allocated this space to began just touching  up places that people had missed when prepping the boards on mass.

I wore overall so that clothes didn't get covered in paint and also a student had two plinths but didn't need one so I took it off her hands before others got in there before me.
