Today's Class- We opened tonight by looking at the completed Make 100 projects. After the critique these were graded and returned to the students before the end of the class. Then we moved on to the second project of the semester, an exploration of the the use of positive and negative space, using relief sculpture and starting with skeletons as the subject.
How to make this up- Everyone was present tonight, so should know what to do. But in case some reminders are needed before it's due, everyone started with a drawn skeleton (human or animal) and reproduced all or part of it as relief sculpture, using foam core as the material. Below is a sample I produced a few years ago to explain the project, first a human skeleton, then a second relief piece that borrows structures, movements, and similar relationships of positive and negative space.
Below are some student examples from previous semesters of this project.
Homework- The completed positive/negative space relief project is due at the beginning of class on 3/1/17.
For next class 2/22/17- We will do a portfolio exercise that addresses the principle of planes, broad surfaces of a sculpture. The starting point will be cars. Bring photos (all sides) of your favorite car based only that car's appearance, not because of any other characteristics. You will construct a model of that car using bristol board and foam core, and then a second piece of three dimensional art that isn't a car. Bring bristol board, scraps of foam core, pencil and eraser, x-acto knife, and glue. You may leave the slime at home.
