Series Assignment
SERIES ASSIGNMENT
Directions:
Choose one or two sources to create a series of pieces. Look
for objects that have interesting forms and textures. If you discovered forms
in your earlier projects, you can use this as one of your inspirations
Regardless of whether or not you choose something from the
natural history museum , you can use the field trip to collect ideas for forms,
textures and colors.
It will be easier for you to succeed if you do not make
literal representations of your sources but rather recontextualize your source.
For the series, create at least 3 sculptures that are all
based on you source(s). These can either function individually or separately.
Preparation:
- Bring sketchbook and camera to museum. Gather images for
inspiration.
-Put at least 10 of these images in your sketchbook. (print
photos)
- Begin by making clay sketches of ideas. This is your
opportunity to experiment with approaches. Save at least
