Drawing/ Doodling in Space

Reflection

I see variety in my sculpture in the sizes and closeness of the loops. Near the bottom of the picture, you can see two large loops that are a good distance and size apart from each other. But at the top of the picture, there are two loops that are smaller and closer together. This shows variety because not only are the two loops in the bottom piece different sizes, but also the sets of loops in the top and the top are very different. I see emphasis in my sculpture in the piece where the paper is. This part of the sculpture shows emphasis because it is where your eye immediately goes to. It is the smallest loop on the sculpture, creating a contrast that also makes emphasis. The paper on the loop also creates emphasis because it is a different color and texture. Something that I learned about sculpture in this unit is that sculpture can be done in many different mediums. I originally thought of sculpture as usually clay, rock, or wood. But now, I've learned that it can come in lots of other mediums. For example, I learned about Ruth Asawa, who uses wire looping in her sculptures. I also learned about Mia Pearlman, who uses paper. These two mediums, and the countless others that are out there defied my expectations and helped me learn something new. Another thing that I learned about sculpture is the many different sizes it comes in. I learned about sculptures that you could hold, and sculptures as big as buildings. I thought that the very big sculptures were interesting because of the places that they are usually found in. I didn't know how often sculptures were used in public places!
