Spring 2013
Project 3
Inspired
by Nature
For this project you will work
exclusively with materials you collect from nature. You assignment is to gather
and collect a large quantity of objects, approximately 100 or more, and materials
to join those items together into an interesting object. Material suggestions:
Palm fronds, driftwood, long grasses, tree pods, branches, rocks, water, or even food products could be used anything you find interesting that is natural
and you can access a lot of. Try
weaving, braiding, sewing, balancing, tying, bending or whatever technique you
come up with to make an object out of the materials you choose. At home and
during the in-class work day you will try different techniques of arranging or
joining your objects together to make one unified form. The sculpture must be
at least 4 feet long in any direction. It can be abstract in shape or can be
representational of something that exists in real life. Think about the design
principles of repetition, balance, color, form, texture, contrast, unity and
variety when coming up with an idea. For this project you will have to draw a couple
sketches of your ideas before you begin making your piece.
Nothing manmade, No glue,
wire, string, etc. unless absolutely necessary and approved by the instructor.
You will find that there are many natural materials that you can use to make
your work.
