My Interpretation

Abstracted Metamorphosis
Abstracted Metamorphosis – Further Progress – Project Four (2310)
Instruction
Continue adding detail to the drawings. New layout template given.
Purpose
Finalize ideas and textures, prepare for final deliverable.
My Interpretation
Using the notes from my previous progress post, I continued adding detail with new textures and perspectives. For the boot, I decided to ditch the leather texture and allow the bubbly additions be their own texture. The other drawings did not change from the previous post.
Abstracted Metamorphosis – Detail Progress – Project Four (2310)
Instruction
Add detail and further progress towards final drawings.
Purpose
Further develop detail. Explore texture and what is added or subtracted from the form.
My Interpretation
For my boot rearrangement I decided to repeat the pattern on the heel throughout the lower post of the boot. I experimented with many leather textures but did not like any of them. I also wanted to change the perspective of the drawing to more clearly develop it’s shape. For the hair drawing, I also experimented with textures. I tried clog to upholstery to corduroy to velvet, but finally settled on that puffy coat material. I made the chair out of that material and made the back wall/remote holder a carpeted texture. Finally, for the pavilion rearrangement I also changed the perspective and added a lot more depth to build the space with it’s variety of tables and chairs and stools.
Abstracted Metamorphosis – Breakdown – Project Four (2130)
Instruction
Create a realistic, semi-complex, and essential component breakdown of three organic-like figures throughout OSU campus. Break down to only most essential details.
Purpose
Begin exploring the beginnings of abstraction and how forms can become simple shapes and can then be rearranged.
My Interpretation
For my three objects I decided to use a small flower, some small sculpture, and a mailbox. I wanted a range of organic shapes, starting with completely organic and ending with hardly organic. I also wanted to I explore different numbers of components, the sculpture having the most and the mailbox having the least.
Research – Abstracted Metamorphosis – Project Four (2310)
Finding Objects
The goal of this research was to find at least six objects on OSU’s campus that had some sort of organic shape. It was necessary to take pictures of it from all or most angles or simply take a video of the subject while rotating around it.
Chosen Subjects
Walking around campus I spied for various levels of organic and semi-organic shapes. The first examples I had were a red chair shaped to the human body, and next to that was some covered outdoor heat lamps on Curl Market’s patio that also had a vague organic feel. After this on another day, I walked around and found a small structure/sculpture, a mailbox outside the journalism building, and a flower and bench just in front of Hitchcock Hall. My goal was to explore truly organic shapes found in nature (the flower) to objects that are only partially organic (the mailbox).
