To understand how a line can be used to create a three-dimensional form;
To use reed to create a sculpture that considers space, balance, repetition, variety, and emphasis;
To learn about sculpture artists and where they find their inspiration.
I think the one right above is better there is a good amount of both positive and negative space. I also think it just looks better and less rushed.
The first thing that we did while creating our sculptures was to let the reeds soak in water. After we were all done soaking we moved on to fiddling around with the wet reeds and creating 2 practice sculptures. After I had some practice I moved on to my final and made sure that there was a variety of negative and positive spaces throughout the sculpture. I used paper clips to hold together the reeds to dry in place. We then let them dry for a couple of days. After they were completely dry we used glue to hold together the parts. After the glue was dry I used a piece of tissue paper for my emphasis. I have many different sizes of loops throughout my sculpture that create variety. For my emphasis I decided to use a piece of tissue paper to put over a part of my sculpture, the tissue paper is a shade of blue that when you hold up to the light you can see-through. I have learned many things about the art of sculpture, first that every sculpture is different and has its own meaning behind it. All sculptures are made out of all different materials ranging from paper to steel. They can be all of different shapes, sizes, and colors. They all contain negative and positive space, but depending on the sculpture the negative and positive space will change.
