2
A three-dimensional form There are several ways to create sculptures. Here are some design concepts and examples.
3
Positive = Occupied space, material used to make the sculpture Negative = Unoccupied space, gaps between or in the sculpture
4
The physical line created by wire, string, wood, etc. (Positive Space)
5
The appearance of a line created by the arrangement of structural forms and negative spaces (gaps).
6
The visual path the eye follows.
7
Using this underwater sculpture by Jason de Caires, identify the basic concepts of design. › Identify the positive space. › What negative spaces do you see?
8
What implied shape is created by the heads of this sculpture? Identify two visual paths shown in this example.
9
Keeping in mind the basics of line design, your assignment will be to create a linear sculpture. Let’s take a look at the basic sculpture methods so you can identify the difference.
10
Relief is a sculpture attached to a base or wall › Bas: low elevation change from the base or surface › High: more separation/elevation change from the base
11
Pouring plaster, clay, molten metal, wax, etc. into a mold A cast can also be made from wrapping plaster, Paper Mache, for example, around a structure and creating a shell of the object.
12
Cutting, carving, scraping away material to create a form.
13
Using linear structure (lines) to create a three- dimensional form.
20
Identify each of the following sculpture methods. Relief › Attached to a base Cast › Poured into a mold or shell of an object Subtractive › Cut, carve or scrape away Linear › Lines create form
21
Create a linear sculpture using wire. Sketch your design ideas in your sketchbook. Each person will receive approximately 15ft of wire. (If you do not use it all, put the remaining wire on the back counter for other students to use.) Bend, mold, shape and design your sculpture. Be mindful of line design concepts. Final design can be mounted on a board, mounted on a rock, spray painted, etc. Be creative!
