For our final week of class this quarter, you will be challenged to use a new material in a creative way. You will research online and experiment with cardboard tubes to build a sculpture. What is a sculpture? Let's watch a video:What is a Sculpture?
Think about how you will connect your tubes. Do you have a glue gun? If so, you could create a 3-D sculpture "in-the-round". This means you could glue and build a structure that is free-standing and interesting from all sides. Here are some examples:
No glue gun? You could create a RELIEF sculpture. This means you will arrange the pieces in a creative way that sits on a table. Here are some examples.
It will be very important this week that you consider how you will take your photo. Notice these examples are all photographed with a white background and are cropped carefully. If you think very carefully about how you photograph your work, you can make a very simple sculpture look artistic. Try to have a solid color background, try to make sure your photo is well-lit, and think about the angle from which you are taking your photo.
Do you have paint? Try adding color! These example all have painted tubes:
Remember: Do NOT decide what you will do based on what you think is easy. Choose something you think looks interesting and fun. It will turn out better that way!
Need some ideas for how to attach pieces together? See if this YouTube video gives you some ideas to try...
Add your work to ARTSONIA!
