These works trace the transformation of geometric forms to organic forms. They were visualized taking inspiration from objects in my surroundings. It gave me an opportunity to explore with different equipment and materials such as plaster of paris, thermocol, PVC foam boards, etc
The following work was developed after. I was inspired from spherical structures around me which was present in both Natural and Artificial form .Both have been made in different materials , one with Plaster of Paris and the other one with Styrofoam .The following work depicts the infinite nature of a sphere and it's tendency to preserve energy within
The works helped me understand how to translate intangible concepts to tangible forms, interplay between forms and the surrounding space. It developed creative abstract design thinking and translate into 3-dimensional composition of Form & Space.
We worked with materials like PoP and thermacol and developed designs and concepts around geometric and organic forms. We learnt the properties of these materials through observation and explorations in the workshop.
The form has been rooted from a keyword which further brainstormed upon became the word which the form represents. It has given me the exposure of working with different materials and sometimes even with complex machines. This work is made out of thermocol which has later been casted on with putty to give it a smooth surface.
The projects I worked upon helped me to understand the overall design process from research to deriving the required solution with empathy in mind, creating prototypes, handling various materials like POP and foam board, taking inspiration from nature; carving and cutting techniques have been used.
This model represents the cycle of life. The various features on the model represent each phase of life, out of two negative spaces of the model, .The other model has two eyes we humans perceive as we see it, but we don't see the eye that is hidden away from us and it only awakens when the aural vibrations affect it.
This piece of work is the result of my inspiration after watching the film "skyfall" in which the ending scene has a shot displaying white dandelions, which stuck with me for a while after the film had ended. The graceful shot of dandelions had fit the theme I had been going for.
This piece depicts a transformation from geometric to organic forms. It explains how even a slight change in an attribute can affect the final form. It also made me realize how important edges and corners are to maintain the character of a form.
The model is of a high performance sports car. The design was inspired by a shark which is a perfect example of a streamline form. The fins are to provide an aerodynamic assist to the car to increase the downforce and the driving stability. This piece is made only using a sunboard which I spray painted grey.
The works showcase my explorations with various materials. It developed my understanding of material properties and its handling. Different kinds of tools and techniques are used to create them. It includes organic as well as geometric forms.
The works helped me understood the relationship between objects and spaces and gave me an ultimate experience of multimedia. By deriving forms attributes and implying meanings to form, prototype of a gramophone has been created. It is inspired from the early ages. The POP casting is of a sacred element of the Indian culture called Diya.
The model displayed here is work done with the plaster of Paris, which shows space in forms. Hand print has been used to create void.

Experimenting with new materials and using the freedom of using materials to make prototypes for the existing products, through which I learned how to operate a CNC mill.
Purnendu Ogra
Form exploration using thermocol was all about experimenting with different forms and playing around with the form’s physical attributes. I tried taking the inspirations for my forms from basic things like alphabets, shapes etc. I tried playing around with everything from organic shapes to geometric ones.
Rhea Pillai
The beauty of the forms made out of Plaster of Paris is the fact that it is distanced from any sort of objective referents ergo resulting in an abstract form. It was an experience that involved one to embrace the medium of the subjects of art. The thread was instrument in the exterior manipulation of the second form.
Riddhi Khairnar
This was a model that I made in a step by step process from a 2D graph composition to a 3D piece. I manipulated a geometric shape into an organic one in a 24 step process, foam sheets were the choice of material since it gives the visual effect I wanted.
Rucha Nene
I had used Plaster of Paris to make different forms that involved exploring it as a material in general and how it interacted with the different moulds that it was poured into, manipulating a geometric form, to an organic form and also exploring space in forms was a few of the pieces I made with this material. I also observed the many ways an object works and looks and observed its many features.
Sakshi Jogdand
I made two forms which included a balloon mold. One being an intentional form and another being an experimental one, both giving me insight on how exactly Plaster of Paris works.
Shweta Kankaria
These POP models have been created using balloon. The inspiration behind these models was Henry Moore’s Oval sculpture. The entire process of making these organic forms not only helped me to understand and conceptualise the forms but also helped me to enhance my 3D visualisation skills.
Shubham Parmar
This model shows the transition of planes and edges. The vertexes of the base turn at a fixed angle and as a result the planes of the form are changed. The illustration gives an idea about the various transitions taking place in the entire model. What I learned through the process of creating this model is visualising and manipulating 3D forms.
SriSharanya Sateesh
The inspiration to create this form was the architectural marvel, "Guangzhou circle". A void space was created inside the tetrahedron in the shape of a cylinder.
Anushthi Gupta
Playing around with Plaster of Paris really helped explore how the material behaves in the given environment it is put in. Exploring negative spaces in carving was really a fun task as the form gained its own personality in that way.
Nipun Singh
Plaster of Paris is a material that I was really keen on working with since the start and its nature of behaviour intrigued me. I was amazed at how aesthetically pleasing the forms were, giving attention to the small details helped me understand how to work with this material.
Sarbana Sarkar
Working with Plaster of Paris was playful. Got to explore many materials like balloons, handkerchiefs, plastic wrappers, bottles, cardboard boxes. Sandpaper has been used to scour the edges and to give a finishing look. While some of the forms were intentionally left in their pure form for displaying their unique textures. I have earned so much knowledge doing these things.
Suchetha Suresh
I made a form that would follow the right center of gravity and balance. The material I used was Plaster of Paris; this material gives a very smooth finish and sleek look to models that one makes.
Suvigya Srivastava
understanding the underlying structures which go into making forms that are coherent and visually optimal. Translating intangible concepts into tangible forms, the interplay between forms and the surrounding space. This cultivated the ability to develop creative abstract design thinking and translate it into the three‐dimensional composition of space and form. By understanding the aptitude of abstraction and lateral thinking. Many materials like Plaster of Paris, PVC sheets were used throughout the learning.
Swapneel Kar
The different forms that I had made helped me understand how different forms affect different people in different ways and how manipulating them even in the slightest way could have a big impact on how it is perceived.
Swetha Konduru
The forms I made helped me understand how to work with the different materials that I had used, I had to think more out of the box to go around and try making the forms that I had in mind.
Tanaya Kuvar
The insight for this form has been taken from the word "procrastination". It depicts how we postpone our work and not do it in due time. The form depicts pending chores not being done. The form is composed using Plaster of Paris.
Tanisha Agarwal
This piece was inspired by the structure of a wave. The deep curves and patterns resemble a wave. The work was made using a high density thermocol block.
Vaishnavi Kalekar
The solid void relationship in the forms and how to manipulate forms are the things experienced here. The works include pop forms organic as well as geometric. It also includes the 3D radii manipulation process from a cube to an organic form.
Vatsala Shekhawat
I've used clay as a base to make an impression of my earrings and filled the space with plaster of paris. After it dried, the clay was removed and was shaped with the help of a sand paper. This helped me understand the terms "form" and "space" from the design point of view. The inspiration was historic architecture and how the beautiful engravings were made.
