Purpose:
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.
Brainstorm:
Length: 22.5 cm
Width: 17 cm
The artist we studied were: Ruth Asawa, Mark di Suvero, Mia Pearlman, Martin Puryear, Richard Serra, Sarah Sockbeson, Stephan White
The first thing we did when making our sculpture was that we soaked our reed in water so that the reed was easy to bend and twist, etc. After they had soaked for a little while we made two practice sculptures. After we made the two practice ones we decided which one thought would be better for the criteria and posted it to our portfolios. Once we were done with that we started to create our final sculpture. Once we decided it fit the criteria and we liked it, we pinned the overlaps of the reed with paperclips. We let the reed dry for about three days or so days. In the next class, we glued the connection pieces and put on our point of emphasis. I put a piece of blue paper as my emphasis point. My sculpture has a bunch of different shapes and sized circles. Something that I learned about the art form “sculpture” is that every sculpture is different and no two sculptures are the same.
