Reflection

When I first started this project I wanted to make sure that the sculpture would take up space without looking too clumped. When I took the two reeds that I would be working with I decided that I would make something with many big loops and small loops to create a more tunnel-like shape. Secondly, I created many circles within the sculpture to make sure I had enough places to add emphasis.  Each time I created a new sculpture I noticed what I liked and disliked about it. I tried to incorporate the things I liked about my previous sculpture into the next one and exclude the aspects that I didn't like. My third step was to create a final product that I liked.  I took great care to create artwork that I felt showed my best work. While creating my final draft I also considered at I would what my sculpture to hang from. Lastly, I glued my sculpture and added emphasis. When gluing my sculpture I made sure that the read was Secure and that no excess glue was showing. When gluing my emphasis onto my sculpture I chose colors that I felt contrasted each other while at the same time working well with each other. You can see variety in my sculpture because of where I put my emphasis. I chose white and red tissue paper two colors that complement each other well and at the same time capture your attention. I put them on opposite sides and ends of the sculpture to draw your eyes to the multiple loops and the shape.I have learned how sculptures can take up space in many different ways.  this project has shown me the importance of lines and how they can define the sculpture’s shape. I've also learned the importance of a pop of color or design, and how it can impact your view of the sculpture.

To understand how a line can be used to create a three-dimensional form

To create a sculpture that considers balance and repetition, variety and emphasis

To learn about sculpture artists and where they find their inspiration
