STEP 4 :
Paint all the cardboard boxes with blackboard paint . We have chosen this paint because a little goes a long way , and it has a nice matt finish . It ’ s water-based and only needs one coat .
STEP 5 :
Leave to dry .
STEP 6 :
With white acrylic paint , paint different symbols and pictures onto the boxes . We ’ ve chosen things to represent the Greek gods of Olympus , but most of them can have more than one meaning . The eye can be an eye , but it can also represent CCTV , the evil eye , or the Cyclops . You can stack boxes up to create trees and pillars , bodies of water , or large animals . Actors can take them apart during the scene to rearrange the space or construct the props they need . rearrange the space or construct the props they need .
