I designed, built and painted the set below for 5th Sun.  I had five days from build to opening night.  I drew the design on the platform and one student helped me paint it with acrylic paint.

8" TALL CRUCIFIX on 5' STICK

I carved the crucifix out of gray foam.  It was then coated with a layer if glue, then painted with acrylic paint.  It is attached with hot glue to the old broom handle I found and painted gold.

6' ROUND MAYAN CALENDAR

PLATFORM FOR 5TH SUN

These are two of the boxes that were used for the gods.  I drew a different Mayan figure for each box and using a jigsaw cut a 1/4" wide "line" in the top of the boxes so they could be lit with lights from inside.  They were sponge painted with acrylic paint.

ALTER FOR 5TH SUN

The alter was a design combination of Mayan and Catholic culture.  The colums and pyramid are made from luaun.  The columns were painted with triangles I made from kitchen sponges.
