Today's Class- Today we discussed the ideas if symmetry and balance as part of composition. I showed art from various points in history, and we decided if each was symmetrical or not. Then we began the new portfolio exercise- starting with simple memory sketches of symmetrical objects, then choosing one to build a three dimensional composition around, with the rule that the final piece would not itself be symmetrical.
How to make this up- Everyone was present tonight so everyone has it done. Here's an example from tonight's class-
Homework- The first graded project- the Make 100 module project- is due at the beginning of class on February 15, 2017.
For next class 2/15/17- After a critique of the first project we will discuss the concept of negative space in sculpture and then start our second graded project. Below are some student examples from previous semesters.
The idea is to start with an image of a skeleton, human or animal, whole or part, and produce it as a relief sculpture, which will emphasize the positive (bones) and negative (space between bones) relationship. After completing that, the second part of the project is to create a second piece that is not a skeleton, but shares some positive and negative relationships with the first one.
Each piece will be created on a 12" x 12" base of foam core, and the positive shapes will also be made from foam core. You may use all white for both parts, or have the option of choosing a color for either the positive or negative shapes. Bring enough foam core to create two 12" x 12" relief pieces (base and raised pieces), x-acto knife, glue, and pencils.
