5. Paraline Drawing

Artist Statement: 

    This sculpture for casting project, has a dominant volume with a subordinate volume offset at the top. Also a negative space cut out by cantilever adds aesthetic sense to it. At first, I imagined of vast plain that has the sole building receiving sunshine in order to look like a peaceful and restful atmosphere. So I designed a negative space from top to bottom letting the light penetrate through so that the shadows are made by stages. From the field trip and the study in class, I had changed my perspective of space. In the past, I thought space was defined as physical space that is calculated by distance or area. However, I realized that space has the power of making and developing the society. By molding and sketching the space I wanted to make, I concentrated on creating projection of my vision on society.

Inside/Outside Relationships 

Volume and Mass

1. Research regular polyhedrons also known as the Platonic solids and analyze the patterns and geometry that compose them.Study these regular polyhedrons through technical drawings and paper models.

   

   

   
   
2. Make own polyhedron.

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   3. Make a polyhedron that opens and or transforms to express space/volume in a visually interesting way.   Research and apply a proportional system such as the Golden Section in the work. Explore thin, planar materials with strong connections.

   -Must use at least two of these materials: Wood, Metal, and Plastic

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   

   
   

   Artist Statement:

This is a sculpture shaped with various polyhedrons, uses of woods, plastic, and metal sheets. For the body, I made a negative space for the dominant volume and four sides are all shaped in octagon. To make the shape of octagons, I had drilled each ends with the smallest drill bit and attached both ends with two little cylinder wires. For the upper part, I wanted to make reflective effects that also can show the volume filled with reflected parallelogram prisms. To make it more vibrant and playful, I painted with range of red acrylic paints. In order to make this range, I used color theory by putting proper amounts of white and black into red. At last, I hung them on wood stand to make them look like a mobile. In between the procedures, I had difficulties making the attachments especially the metal sheets. So I had to use glue in several places and this made me bothered overall for the clear appearance.

 Analysis and Interpretation of Form in Space

Introduction:

Making a three dimensional linear construction that explores the relationship between two dimensional and three-dimensional of form.

” How drawn line and linear materials are the same but different? “

Use of framing in a drawing to accentuate positive/negative relationships and most importantly the nature of perception.

Artist Statement:

          By observing the lively appearance of Union Square, I made quick gesture drawings of trees, a boy walking through holding a  bicycle, and a squirrel. For this project, I wanted to make the bottom parts with wood to let wire pieces stand in a three-dimensional way. Making the wire pieces, I had used three kinds of wires. One was for the outlines, the thinner one was for attachment, and colored wire wool for tree leaves and flowers. When making the details of gestures, I struggled to curve clearly with pliers in a right way and had to roll up several times to make it still together. For the wooden part, I cut the appropriate angle of diagonal wood so that I could drive the nails clearly. The parts I regret after all were that the parts I made it stand are kind of distracting and I should have challenged more on three-dimensional positions by making more realistic figures and different stages of wooden pieces.
