ART 208.01 Introduction to Sculpture PROJECT TWO: The
Body in Space Initial Design Development Phase (20% of project grade) Part 1. Reading and Writing: Read
the pdf on Blackboard, Part 2 of Eyes
of the Skin by Juhani Pallasmaa, as a way to get you thinking about the
experience of space as something visceral (what it feels like) not just
visual (what it looks like). Then write about a place (actual and or dreamed) that has had a
significant impact on you. This writing should be no less than 800 words You
will probably find it challenging to write this much. But that is my
intention. This writing should aim to achieve a deep
level of recall; not just describing the apparent circumstance (objective),
but getting in touch with your internal subjective experience expressed in
deep-seated visceral, tactile and auditory forms. In other words, consider
the psychological dimension of your experience and how you experience that
psychology in physical terms. Think of this writing as an extended
impressionistic poem that dissolves your body into the space of your memory! Email me your writing as an attached MS word
doc title lastname_proj2_memory.docx Part 2. 2D sketching: Create 4 full-page, detailed drawings/collages as a
way to begin to visualize your experience of this place. Please use a variety
of drawing media (not just a pencil.) á
Draw the space as you remember it. á
Draw the place from a unique, specific human spatial point of
view (yours). á
Make a drawing that captures the experiential quality of the
place (not what it looks like but how it feels). á
Make a drawing of the place that is in some way inspired from one
of the project source artists. Part 3. Initial 3D Modeling: From
these sketches make two 3D models created from wood, cardboard, paper, foam
core, wire, and found objects. These
two models should explore two different approaches to expressing what you
drew and wrote about. |
