ART 208.01 Introduction to Sculpture PROJECT THREE: Convergence Final Design Phase (20% of project grade) Part 1. Review Writing: No less than 4 typed
pages. This is an exercise to be done before you revise not afterwardsÉ Do it while actually looking at
your initial drawings and models! See an online review
writing sample to help you understand how to best approach this review writing
Email the writing as an attached MS word doc titled yourlastname_ proj1review.docx) A. Summarize your expressive goals for
your sculpture. B. Review your selected initial model and explore design revision options
Copy, paste all the prompts below (the digital version can be
found on Bb) and answer them as specifically as possible. i. Consider
how adding or modifying narrative elements might further the meaning
of your sculpture. Speculate and give at least one example of an addition or
change for each of the following: á
The gesture or pose of the body part á
The specific way the two identities physically converge á
The descriptive features of each identity ii. Consider
how adding or modifying form qualities might further the meaning and
effectiveness of your convergence. Speculate and give at least one example of
an addition or change for each of the following form categories: á
relative
scale of parts and or the overall
size of the sculpture á
type of
shapes and or contrasts of shapes
(rounded, angular, predictable, funny, etc.) á
type
of composition (dense, open, chaotic, organized, symmetrical, flowing/graceful,
awkward etc.) á
construction
(types of joinery, attitude of construction, process of making) á
materials (the
associations certain materials have, the visceral experience of certain
materials) á
surface
treatments (color, drawing, textures) á
relationship
to gravity/space including the way it relates to its base, has no base etc.
(balanced/ off balance, firmly rooted/ suspended, heavy/ light etc.) C. Summarize: Part 2.
More Drawing: Create 5 pages of drawings/collages
that visualizes the specific revisions brought up in your writing. Part 3. Create a final model and a material
sample Create a final model paying particular
attention to the overall configuration of your artwork (something that will
tell you how to form an armature). As always É DONÕT short shrift the
modeling process! It is key to creating quality sculptures. Create a fabrication sample as a way to
figure out the specific way you will use materials to create desired forms
(surface, color, textures, etc.) Model and material sample can be done
together or separate. The best approach depends on your design. |
