Making of Gradina Hill, vol.1

One of our tasks in Argonauta was to create a realistic model of Gradina Hill. Anja was the one who volunteered to do it, and later on when Laura came, both girls joined forces in order to make the best hill ever.

Step 1. While looking at the materials for some days Anja was thinking.. HOW WILL I DO THIS??

Step 2: Anja: Ok don’t panic. Lets draw a topographic map and cut the styropol according to it..image

Step 3:  Anja: Voila! Now what????image

Everybody was preoccupied with their own work…image

but Laura was kind enough to join the “create-Gradina’s-maketa” team, as she already had experience with doing similar projects at the past

So! Laura and Anja made a team, as you see :)

Anja: HOW! WHAT ! WHY!

Laura: Chill. I’ve got this! We ll use papier mache (newspapers with glue)

Step 4: Finished ! image

Step 5: Using clay to cover the papier mache. 

Doesn’t really look like Gradina Hill.. Its a bit too hegh..

Step 6: So ! Anja and Laura had to ask for the assistance of a man, Dobri, to help them cut the model in order to lower its height :)

Stay tuned for vol. 2 !
