Researching on the internet, scenographic set model boxes. I found some really great ones which could be a good influence. In terms of colour these picture show moods very well.
Blue and Green.
Examples of white set model boxes, helps me with the initial idea of how small or big things should be in comparison to size/scale.
This model box is much like how mine will be in the sense of being simple. Geometric shapes and muted colours (bland).
These two are good influences for trees. I like how one of them the trees are upside down, gives great mysteriousness and fantasy to it.
The second picture also excites me, its very simple with few trees, (simple being the outlined trees with black a clear cylinder)but very viney. Too viney for my model box.

Struggling with wolf ideas: i have a image in my mind of what i want him to look like, but finding it hard to get the design down on paper. Obviously using cubism as a genre i still have to keep him to simple geometric shapes, but also want him to be recognisable as a wolf. Need him to be grey with bright red evil eyes and a nasty but cheeky grin about his face. Any ideas?
Looking at these: Cartoon for simple shapes.

New change of ideas.
Using Nutcracker as an influence in costume design and colours to show intentions, moods and feelings.
As in the Nutcracker ,whit and gold are used to show innocence and happiness hen they dance together, looking on to my scene i was thinking of keeping the same cubism shapes, but toneing down on the colours to show moods, intention and feelings more clearly but still fitting in with cubism as the colours for cubism were always very muted anyway.
RED CAP
She will be dressed in white, with only a red cape and red long tights and ballet slippers, with a large tutu. (just as in Nutcracker) props: white basket. The white is to show the innocence and purity of her, red cap to show who/ her status.
WOLF
In very dark grey, and bright red eyes to show evilness, but with a great big teethy smile. (tricking red cap)
Flower and trees: will be white with a touch of gold, showing pure nature.
Gold/yellow light to shine when wolf states "look how beautiful the forest is" to lead red cap off the path.
Path and background will be grey to show depth and darkness of the forest.
When Red cap and Wolf are chatting A white light will shine on the both of them.

Working with foam board: making sides / edges neat without any foam showing.
A 90 degree angle.
First, using a engineer square and a sharp cutting knife, practise cutting straight lines, using the excess strips cut off, cut 2 squares. On 1 square made a cut but not all the way through, just enough, so i could scrape off the foam, leaving the card attached. Glued the other square on. Now i have neat edge. (as so) Mine did go a bit dodgy, lucky it were a test!
Can stil see foam on the surrounding edges: to cover the surrounding edges, using cartridge paper cut some strips the same with as edge, then simply glued on, cutting angles where needed.

Sketch Model
Trees: Again sam green paper painted for more effect and rolled up then pushed up to give the cylinder look. Then using green an white pipe cleaner wrapped these around the cylinder trunk to make the square branches and leaves.
Sketch Model
Slides: Using green card painted to make it look more tree like. (brown and yellow paint) Cut to the correct size and folded a tab at the bottom then stuck a lolly stick on to make it easier to slide in and out.
Sketch Model
Next created a front arch for my model box. ( keeping in tag with the Margate Theatre Royal) Measured a piece of card to the same size as the back drop. Folded the card in half and cut an arch out. Made some tabs on the bottom to attach the front arch to the floor of the model. Painted up the arch to match the backdrop. tried sticking the arch to the front of box but it was to heavy and not stable enough. To make it more stable added wooden lolly sticks to the back, this made it more secure but still to heavy. Made more tabs to fix from the front arch to the backdrop. This then held the box nice and stable.
Sketch Model
Painted a sheet on A4 paper with browns, blue and white to create a grey colour for the backdrop and floor. Cut these to the correct size of the white set already made, glued these on. ( needs to be flipped to the right)
Cut out a long cylinder shape to symbolise the path. Drew some pebbles on and coloured them in, three shades of grey. Glued this onto the floor of the stage. ( flipped to the right)

Changed idea slightly, still sticking with cubism, but as Chris pointed out the costume ( little red cap) looked like / reminded him of Triadic Ballet, i decided to look into ballet. (the idea of ballet has also helped me in my head with a further idea for my wolf costume). Cubism/ ballet. ETC Nutcracker.
From looking at previous post, i have concluded that i already looked into Triadic Ballet costume and this is where i got my original idea from. Looking at the Nutcracker also, to find that the Redcap's costume and pose is very/ almost exactly the same as hers. Obviously my design is very more plain and has a much more simple shape to it, whereas in the Nutcracker she has a much more fluffy and detailed tutu skirt.
