Final Group Colour Assignment

This was our last assignment for the semester. This assignment was a group work where we had to create an own version of a colour wheel that goes beyond the norm.
We should as creative as possible. At the end it should be large scale 3D end product.
During the lecture, we were asked to choose a theme for which we should do the colour wheel. Two theme were chosen: Food and carnival. Finally voted by each and everyone in the class,  carnival was our final choice.
During the tutorial class we were asked to come out with ideas. Our group has chosen bumper cars as our final product.
The week after we came out with a mock up that we showed to our lecturer Ms. Lisa and she approved, so the work could begin.

Making of the base
Materials used:  styrofoam, tissue paper, glue and tape.
We started by cutting the styrofoam to make the circle shape and with stick it together using glue and tape.


Then we used papier mache to make the structure more stronger and to make it easy to be painted.


The final step for the base was the painting process. We used the secondary colour of the colour wheel: Orange, green and violet.

Bumper cars
Materials: Wire
The bumper cars were made using wire. And for the colour we used plastic sheet of primary colour: yellow, red and blue.



For the mechanism, to make the base and the bumper cars to turn we used the lazy susan.

Here are the final 3 bumper cars:




Each bumper and its colour represent an emotion.
