Instruction
Create twelve sketches highlighting both volume and depth of your graphics from the previous project in 3D space.
Purpose
Iterate and explore ideas. Understand how shapes and repeated shapes can create form.
My Interpretation
I struggled understanding this instruction and had limited ideas on both depth and volume. Starting with my fly’s eye pattern in depth, I wanted to see how creating a shadowbox with “bridges” crossing it in pattern. For volume, I would instead create ribbons of pattern up and around the space to create a volumetric shape. For the beetle graphic I explore depth by changing the shapes orientation as it descends, flipping it and rotating it, different depths and where it ends up. For volume of the beetle I explored smooth and ridged shapes, again with varying heights, and even distortion and waves within waves within the layers of craft.
