WHAT WE ARE MAKING

WHY WE ARE MAKING IT

Transforming on 2D composition to 3D Sculpture

Understanding of your composition how it can balanced and create a motion

ACTIVITY MATERIALS

Foam Board

Metal Wire

Wire Cutter

Long Noise Plier

Sketchbook



Begin by selecting the most compelling or descriptive sketches from your emotive element poster.

You design already a 2D composition. Consider if these element would 3D sculpture how it would be look.

Sketch it.

Don't forget, we will connect the elements with wire.

01 START WITH A SKETCH

15-20 Min

Measurement is the significant part of the creating process for making real

Give approximate measurements by imagining the measurements and checking them with a ruler. How would it be if it were bigger or smaller? Does it disrupt the rules and element composition order you have chosen?

Please do not forget to write the dimensions in the sketch drawing!

02 APPROX. MEASUREMENT

15-20 Min

 Draw the elements of your composition one by one on the foamboard in 1/1 size and cut them out.

03 CUTTING THE ELEMENTS

15-20 Min

04 MAKE THE WIRE FRAME WORK

1. Use the wire cutter to snip off the metal wire

2. Bend the wire to a good length for the main arm

3.Create a loop in the center of wire. You can bend the wire by hand or use needle nose pliers.

04 CREATE THE LOOPS

Create loops at each end of the main arm to hold smaller arms

Trim the ends of the loop with the wire cutter if necessary.

05 CREATE THE LOOPS

You may fall this wire like the spine of your statue. You can bend your own loops and wire accordingly, depending on how you want it to stay balanced.

05 ASSEMBLED THE ELEMENTS & GET BALANCED
