Cardboard O My

When starting project two there was four main concepts and ideas that we had to focus on. These concepts were balance, volume, void, gravity.

Balance is harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole.

Volume is the amount of 3D space occupied by an object.  

Void is an empty area or space.

Gravity is the means by which objects with mass attract one another. 

This was the final project of my group. It wasn't as perfect as I would like. Part of the orginal plan was to cover the whole inside with texture. there was also some spots that needed more tape and fixing. I had a great time working on this project and I enjoyed working with my group.

 While I was working with myself I created my own sculpture. The reason why I chose this piece I wanted create a piece that when made to its full potential it gives the illusion of climbing to the sky. You take the time to walk around it and as you move around the piece you find that you believe you are climbing to your own full potential.

It’s hard to explain why I chose the sculpture that group two created. I guess the best way to put it is that I was drawn to it. It held me visual and in that tilts the head kind of way. I enjoy their use of color, shape, the repetition. Some of the things that I felt that worked well were the movement that the lines created. The tension in placement, and the direction in tape that was repeated from the lines in the piece. There use of the triangle and I believe added a lot of interest and creativity to the piece for the viewer. When they added all the pieces of triangle together it gave you the idea that this could be a shoe.  I also feel that it was put together with some skill. Working with cardboard and know that it can be a huge pain I also know that you will never make a cardboard sculpture perfect. They did have some missing tape spots, bowing where the cardboard had bent that made this sculpture almost perfect. Original this group used Red tape and I wish you could still see some of that red, I feel that if they did keep the red it would have added some visual interest.  

 After all said and done I'm glad to be done with working with cardboard.
