Developing Ideas Developing my ideas were key to this project, as I had to think like a child and design and develop ideas I could use in my cabinet. Writing ‘Missing childhood’ and cutting out some of the letters brought back the fun and colourful childhood that I remember. This is shown on the left hand side of the page. On the right hand side of the page I used acrylic paint with water and with a paint brush I splattered it on to the page to create a pattern/design that I may use for the outside of my box. I thought that the paint was very effective when the other page was on top of it.
