3-D Design:
Modules Sculpture Project
How can you use repetition of design elements to create complexity of form and message?
When is something more than the sum of its parts?
When is something more than the sum of its parts?
Vocabulary:
Module, Component, Unit, Motif, Matrix, Pattern, External form, Internal form, Joinery
The Challenge
You will create a complex form (one that has both visible external form and visible internal form) from identical modules.
ALL DRAWINGS WILL BE CHECKED BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE INTO CONSTRUCTION OF MODULES OR SCULPTURE
ALL DRAWINGS AND RESEARCH IS DUE UPON SUBMISSION OF SCULPTURE FOR GRADING. DRAWINGS AND RESEARCH ARE WORTH ½ OF GRADE.
COMPLETED SCULPTURE PROJECT IS DUE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015
Module, Component, Unit, Motif, Matrix, Pattern, External form, Internal form, Joinery
The Challenge
You will create a complex form (one that has both visible external form and visible internal form) from identical modules.
- It should be at least 12”x24”x24". Much larger sizes are allowable with instructor approval.
- You must create a minimum of 5 sketches for the overall form
- You must create a finished graphite drawing on 12 x18 paper illustrating a typical module and the final form of the sculpture.
- You may use found objects that you collect or may construct the modules yourself.
- You must engineer a method of joining modules together, using research (Internet or other) to arrive at your joinery choices.
- The sculpture must be able to freely stand without leaning on a wall or other object.
- You must provide written/collected and printed documentation of your research, including sources (URLs are OK)
