Practice Excercise • Demonstrate the following techniques to show proficiency before beginning your project… • Cut a Geometric Shape • Cut an Organic Shape • Build a relief with a minimum of three layers and use the negatives to create a depression. • Assemble a Stacked maquette with at least 3 pieces attached at 90 degree angles • Assemble two pieces of cardboard slotted together.
Objectives • In pairs create a three dimensional cardboard sculpture representing a real object. • Each partner must build their own maquette of the final sculpture. • The Final Sculpture must be at least 3 ft tall or wide. • Projects will be graded on craftsmanship of cutting, gluing, and assembling of the pieces as well as the display of the final arrangement.
For Homework • View items that might make an interesting sculpture in cardboard. • Option 1: Bring in one Object • Option 2: Take photos of a few items from the top, bottom, front, back, left and right sides. • Share with your partner and the table to decide what to use for your sculpture.
