Paper Model

Let me just say first that I don't enjoy working with Bristol paper, but looking at my final product I would say that looking at my final product makes me glad that I keep going and completed my model.

The goal of this project was to create a model that had one line one plane and one volume. It was the starting point for the first experience of thinking with a 3D mind.

Line is defined as the path made by a moving point. Lines in art have width as well as ends.

Plane is defined as imaginary surface for determining points. This is also called the horizon line.

Volume is defined as the mass or bulk of a three dimensional work; the amount of space it contains.

The reason why I put my Volume first my plane second and my line third was because I want you to look at it from different angels. Looking at it from the top down you see the line and the Shape of the plane. From the side you see the volume which I made into a cylinder and you see the plane which is also a line. You can also see part of the line. With each way and time you look at this project you notice that each time every part of this art piece gets a chance to be dominant. At first glance the dominant piece is my triangle plane.

While doing some research I came across an inspiring Artist named Bathsheba Grossman. you can check her art work at http://www.bathsheba.com/.

Grossman use mathematics as its own form of Art. She is constantly looking for symmetry, Balance, beauty in geometry and getting from zero to infinity. She mostly works in metal but she also works in glass. Her work inspires me because eventhough I feel that I suck at math the way she uses math makes sense to me and I find all her work beatuiful. Her work is complicated and so simple at the same time.

The little tiny details that Grossman puts in her work leaves me looking at it for hours on end.
