Transforming 2 Dimensions Into 3

In my last blog I wrote about a visit to the Whitney Museum and how I decided to do a two dimensional collage inspired by the polka dots that artist Yayoi Kusama uses in many of her pieces.  The theme of my art class this past week was white on white again.  This time, however,  the assignment was to create a 3 dimensional artwork.  With that in mind I chose to recycle my 2 dimensional piece and create an assemblage.   I had a glass covered square rosewood box that I painted white using several coats of acrylic paint.  I then pasted my original collage inside the box and added painted wooden spherical shapes.  Finally, using gloss medium I sealed and shined up the outside.  Voila a new piece!
