Art Class Pedalboard!

Danni Moe · #1 11-02-2011, 08:40 AM

I'm taking IB Art this year and next year and my theme is music but more specifically my music. So instead of buying a pedal board I decided to kill two birds with one stone and make one in art class.

And then I put the nails in, removed the thin supports, stepped on it a couple times and draped the fur over it...(not necessarily in that order)

Stapled the fur, painted the inside and added the pedals w/velcro...

Redid the chain and voila:

I have room for maybe another pedal and a chromatic tuner.

Actually I think he linked to a secure address. My 'view selection source' skillz showed me an 'https' as the start of the link.

Yes - he linked from his Skydrive (microsuxx) account...so...I don't think we're gonna be seeing those anytime soon...

You've got some gumption, and that's good. Nice work. But the wood looks a little thin, make sure it'll hod up to some heavy stomping. I noticed the tall sides on it, are you also making a top for it?

If you want to take it the next few levels, check out Mr. Majestic's board for inspiration.

I'm not making a top for it. I designed it in a way such that the sides of the pedals are protected. I've also stomped on it with and without nails and pedals and its sturdy.

and where can I find this Mr. Majestic's board?

Oh, I remember seeing this board. When I need a bigger board I'll get one thats already made or use a briefcase or something.

I was expecting to see something artistic, but I saw something utilitarian instead.

Whats not artistic about my pedalboard?

I dig it. It's a bazillion times more crafty than the one I did.

i don't think he's trying to be mean. you did ask for comments. honestly, playing out...... that kinda looks like a nightmare. i'd step on the wings and destroy it within ten minutes. 'specially without a top for it, functionality..... seems...... suspect.

visually, it's not that it's bad, but it doesn't really bring anything interesting to the design.

just IMO and all that.

MSUsousaphone · #19 11-06-2011, 10:42 PM

Yeah....for instance, when my band plays, we have a chalk artist who does a bunch of groovey stuff while we're jamming....when I built my pedal board she offered to do some crazy awesome art all over it. After I added the velcro and pedals....well...there's pretty much no place to paint anywheres.

Long story still quite long, I assumed from the title that you built a pedal board and then put some bad ass tapestries all over it.

Here's a vid of her doing her thing, btw....shameless plug.

I've stomped on it with/without pedals and nails and it holds up nice. And I built it more for art class than playing but play with it when the IB examiner comes in 2013.

I appreciate that you elaborated you opinion.
