putting it into practice
STEP 3: IDEAS/ SELECTION
1. Produce THREE different design concepts that you may like to explore through your environmental sculpture.
• Nest made out of sticks
• Trees hanging from the trees in the quad
• Our final choice sculpture is putting ice hangs on the bottom of the tree sitting in water.
2. Create a concept sketch for each design concept.
3. Name each of these design concepts and explain how you think you will go about exploring and creating these design concepts.
Select the concept design your group will explore in your environmental sculpture. Your final design may include design features from any of your previous design concepts.
1. Label the materials within your design concept.
2. Justify your groups’ selection of this design concept.
STEP 4: PLANNING AND PRODUCTION
1. Photograph the site you will be working with.
2. List the tools, materials and resources you will need in order to create your sculpture.
- Water
- Gloves
- Fruit
- Scrapers
- Knife
3. Explain how your sculpture explores a theme similar to that of Goldsworthy.
Andy Goldsworthy’s artworks are created with all found objects and he doesn’t use any man made objects.
4. Describe how your sculpture explores one of more of the six elements of Visual Arts (line, shape, form, space, value, texture).
5. List the steps your group will follow to create the sculpture within the lesson time provided.
Step 1. Fill gloves with water and fruit
Step 2. Put gloves in the freezer to freeze completely
Step 3. Fill holes around tree with water and place ice hands in the water.
Step 3. Watch and see how the audience interacts with the sculpture.
6. State how you intend to document your sculpture- during the physical making stages, the finished product and the decay of your sculpture. How do you intend to present your documentation?
We will be taking photos of the sculpture during the process to show how the audience interacts and reacts of the sculpture. We will be documenting from start to finish of how our sculpture was set up.
