At my school, we all come together to put on a musical every year. Whether it is acting, singing, dancing, creating props, or playing an instrument, every student has their own role. Along with the musical we are also involved with a community parade. The senior artists are in front of our group wearing giant heads inspired by musical characters.

To create our giant heads, we all started with a cardboard box, and that's where we parted ways. I don't think two people in the whole group created their heads the same way.

To make mine, I cut out a profile of my character's face from cardboard. Then I used cardboard strips to build up the face and used toilet paper rolls to create the pointy cheekbones. Later, I used pieces of textured paper to smooth out the face. After spray-painting the hair black and the face in one gray color, I used acrylic paint to define and shade the face. The most difficult part was making it wearable and comfortable. I glued foam inside the head and created shoulder pads, then covered it in cardboard matching the rest of the face.
