3d Foundations 1B | 'In the Style of...' Sculpture Project


This project was the initial project for students in the second section of 3D foundations - these students have already taken the first foundations class, so they have lots of existing knowledge to draw from.

 

We looked at past and contemporary sculpture and discussed the elements and principles of design and how they combine to influence a work of art. Students were then asked to identify an artist whose work they would like to explore as a first project.



 Students completed initial project plans to identify aspects of their chosen artist' work they wanted to focus on.


They completed a series of initial exploratory drawings and some students created maquettes to understand potential challenges and considerations during the final building process.




When the work was finished, students spent time setting their work up for presentation.


Each student presented his/her work to the class. They discussed their chosen artist's work and they also identified the challenges and discoveries they made during the building process.
