Project Description
Throughout this project, the main focus was to construct ideas with intentional craft in material exploration. I challenged myself heavily to have an eye for craft and a disciplined process. In A4, I intended to observe and interpret 2D composition and then transition each into a 3D composition defining connections between 2D shapes and 3D forms. Examing faces and the volume of these forms was the main intention through craft.
By applying these goals to the crafting of my form net, I also look to practice essential orthographic drawing techniques and their application related to perspective drawing. By evaluating each form as a greater whole and from various perspectives, my goals began to ideate. I continued expressing these ideas through newly learned vocabulary through class discussions, and critiques.
I chose an octahedron to create my composition. This was a simple shape that I find to be so interesting. This was repeated to shape created so many intriguing forms that I enjoyed isolated in an evaluation of modularity. By constructing 5 pieces in a modular format, I found such a beautiful form of balance and harmony. This symmetrical balance created such a great depiction of a pentagon within the center of all connections. This creation of harmony brings a strong unification of the separated forms and each of their vertices.
