Plastic Assignment Above Beyond 3 D Design Assignment

Plastic Assignment: Above & Beyond 3 D Design

Assignment: You will construct a hanging sculpture of transformed recycled plastics. You will use color for emphasis in translucent and/or transparent plastics connected mechanically. STUDENT WORKS

Types of Plastics to use: • • Soda Water Milk Juice bottles Plastic cups Tupperware/Take out containers Old plastic folders/binder dividers Packaging material AVOID P. E. T(crinkly plastics)!!

Preparing Plastics: CLEAN ALL RECYCLED PLASTICS YOU COLLECT! • Use HOT water to remove most labels and adhesives. • Denatured Alchohol will remove many labels. • “Goof-off: ” Use this product to remove labels and adhesives that will not come off with hot water or alchohol.

Dying Plastics: One brand will dye the plastics successfully. “I-DYE POLY” PROVIDED IN CLASS

Attachment Methods: • Hole punch, drill, hot knife, or something to put small hole in plastic. Appropriate device to connect plastic units – we will provide rivet guns and grommet tool in the studio – you are expected to provide your own rivets/grommets if you choose to use them. NO GLUE!

Visual Flow: Moves the eye. ARTIST: Aurora Robson

Types of Visual Flow: REPETITION ALL STUDENT WORK DIRECTIONAL SHAPES THAT POINT

GEOMETRIC OR ORGANIC? Geometric Organic

EXAMPLE: GEOMETRIC >Perfect circles >Rectangular shape STUDENT WORK

EXAMPLE: ORGANIC >Free form >Visually suggest the natural world STUDENT WORK

Focal Point: Creating a focal point with, • Size • Difference(shape) • Location(near center) • Converging lines • Directional contrast • Value contrast • Detail/Texture STUDENT WORK

Color Scheme: Color scheme is analogous with split compliment

Harmony: • Repetition with variation. 1. 2. 3. Repeated material Varied sizes Varied colors ARTIST: Aurora Robson

Craft: • Presentation: Make sure edges are clean and smooth. • Structural/Joining: Must be neat and strong. • Hanging Mechanism: Must be strong, neat, and also invisible. STUDENT WORK

Form: In-The-Round Must be 360° x 360° STUDENT WORK

REVIEW

EVALUATION CRITERIA: MEETS ASSIGNMENT • Form in the Round: (360 x 360) • Transformation: no longer looks like junk! • Color Scheme: Analogous with split compliment

EVALUATION CRITERIA: COMPOSITION • Geometric/Organic Form: Identify which you are using. • Focal Point: clear/from all viewing angles • Visual Flow: Unexpected/intriguing, Moves the eye • Unity/Harmony: Use of repetition/variation and emphasis to unify form

EVALUATION CRITERIA: CRAFT/TECHNIQUE • Finished Presentation: clean edges & surfaces/hanging mech • Structural Integrity: hangs, stays together • Skill and Care in Mechanical Joining Method(s)
