This is the Assignment for you to look at further.
Using a book as a foundation, alter it into a sculpture. Explore what you can do with a book or the idea of what a book is. Experiment with combining found or natural objects to enhance your form.
This can be anything (toy/game pieces, hardware, leaves, office supplies, etc.) You can use any material and technique available to you (tape, glue, string, staples, screws, wire, paint, paper mache, gel medium etc.). Experiment with cutting or folding the pages. The book should be transformed.
In your sketchbook, create a series of thumbnail sketches showing your design plan from different viewpoints. This assignment will be much easier if you have a general idea of what you want to achieve before you begin. Will the piece be a study of the elements and principles? Will the piece be a social commentary or narrative of some sort? What can you do to make the piece personally meaningful?
Due date is Thursday March 3....you do not have to be in class for the time you will work on it. I will mark you here for those days (This Thursday and next Tuesday) that is 6 hours + 2 = 10 hours time to work on it - hopefully it will be enough time to do an excellent job on it!!
YAY!
