Introduction to Sculpture: Revisiting the Readymade

thingiverse

Sculpture Foundation Project Guidelines Create a three-dimensional artwork that showcases your understanding of basic sculpture principles. This assignment will help you develop skills in material selection, form development, and presentation techniques. Choose an existing object or concept to reinterpret as a sculptural piece. Research and gather reference images to inform your design decisions. Develop a cohesive idea for your sculpture, considering shape, texture, color, and scale. Sketch out multiple iterations to refine your concept. Using materials such as clay, wood, or paper mache, create a prototype of your sculpture. This initial version should be rough but accurate in terms of size and proportions. Refine your design through iterative prototyping, making adjustments to form, texture, and color as needed. Once you are satisfied with the design, create a final version using your chosen materials. Consider adding decorative elements or finishes to enhance the overall appearance. Document your process with photographs and written descriptions, highlighting key decisions and challenges encountered throughout the project. Upon completion, submit your sculpture along with a detailed description of your creative process and any references that inspired your work.
