3D to 2D

This was a project that came to me a lot easier to me than some of the other projects. For this project, we had to choose a 3D artwork that we created in the semester and transform it into a 2D art piece. As a Graphic Design Major I'm attracted to geometric shapes and guild lines, it just my nature to have thing unified and structured. I choose my Map Relief Sculpture as my 3D form. I took pictures of the woven yarn and then made a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator to form a cube form.I like the idea of this organic form turning into a non-organic form. I choose the colors because they were bold but not too distracting. I could see this artwork as a framed print or as an album cover fro The XX (band).

Map Relief Sculpture

On this assignment, we were to create a map relief based on a topographical map that reflects a personal idea. I based my idea off of a birds nest and how the collect thing from where they have been to create their home. I have called three different place home in my lifetime so far and I wanted to represent that with the three different woven yard squares. I also want to tie loose yard to show the loose end of a relationship I have left behind. For my materials, I choose yard and metal to represent myself. I feel that I can be a hard metal but soft as yard personality. I feel that this project could continue as I grow as a person a travel to new homes and build new relationships.

Final Work

Three Mini Sculpture

For this project we had to create three mini sculptures uses either balsa wood, glue, white paper, masking tape, tracing paper or straight pins. I want to focus mostly on space and some learned that I was unconsciously also using repetition in my pieces as well. For my first piece, I cut balsa wood into eight right triangles with three acute triangles. I then stacked them using the straight pins to create a space and a floating effect. Later I put glue in between I levitate. However, for my second sculpture, I was still inspired by the triangle shape and repeated it to create a pyramid. After that structure was made I wrapped one-half with tape and the other half was half exposed balsa wood and half paper/tape. To continue with the reputation I punched holes in both the tape and paper to create texture and patter. The final sculpture was an experiment. I still contained a cohesion using triangles as the other two had, but this time I put in on a rectangular base. I want this piece to have a different look to it from all angles. I really enjoyed this project and learning to experiment with material i have never combined together.
