WHAT WE ARE MAKING

WHY WE ARE MAKING IT

Finalizing the our kinetic art sculpture

 Your emotions how can became an art work

ACTIVITY MATERIALS

01 TAKE BEST PICTURE OF YOUR ART WORK



White background

Good Lighting

Multiple pictures for best aesthetical view



You made already a 3D composition as a foamboard low-fidelity mockup.

Consider if these element would 3D balance better and aestiticaly which part it could be better?



Sketch it due to your first mock up.

1)How many element you used?

2)What type of wire system you used and explain it

02 IMPROVE YOUR COMPOSITION

15-20 Min

For the motion , connection type is the most significant part so which one you should use for your the mobile

02 CONNECTION TYPE

03 MOTION FLOW

03 MOTION FLOW

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

02 GIVE THE MEASUREMENT

15-20 Min

05 ASSEMBLED THE ELEMENTS & GET BALANCED

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

WHAT WE ARE MAKING

WHY WE ARE MAKING IT

Learning kinetic art and related movements

Become familiar with terminology and methods

used to achieve a particular kinetic art sculpture

What is the Kinetic Art?

''Kinetic art is art that depends on motion for its effects.

The word kinetic means relating to motion. Since the early twentieth century artists have been incorporating movement into art. This has been partly to explore the possibilities of movement, partly to introduce the element of time, partly to reflect the importance of the machine and technology in the modern world and partly to explore the nature of vision.

Elements of KINETIC ART SCULPTURE

While kinetic art encompasses many different technical attributes and principles, there are 4 key ingredients that will be most effective when designing a kinetic sculpture to achieve a particular look.

1 COMPOSITION

2 WAY OF MOTION

3 SHAPE,

FORM,LINE, COLOR

4 MATERIAL

Instructions

Choose a kinetic art sculpture and artist you would consider to have "unique" art or one that employs an aesthetic that you like.

What are you feeling while you are looking the object?

01

10 min

Instructions

Define the general composition and which geometric components used for becoming a composition

02

10 min

Instructions

Which gestalt principles used for this sculpture?

Continunity?

Proximity?

Similarity?

Good Figure?

03

Instructions

Draw the way of motion and consider how did design the artist.

04

1)Let's prepare a grid template with 4 square boxes placed vertically and 3 square boxes horizontally.

2) Randomly assign a 4 set of gestalt rules to each student.

3) Each student should give an emotion name of the cell the grid to complete their drawing within.

4) Each student now completes their assigned drawing, following the rules as closely as possible.

1) Drawing Time

2) Choice your sentence



You should choose a main title. This sentence should be the starting sentence of the drawings you will make.

Example Rules:

Today ı'm feeling...

Last 1 year I am feeling ...

I will be feeling...

Make list of emotions. You can draw and after you can name or you can make your list and begin to draw.

10 min break

3) Brainstorming Drawing Rules

Working in teams of two, brainstorm and develop a set of rules to create a section of the collaborative art piece.



Be sure to write each step of your rule set clearly, so there is little room for interpretation. 

Example Rules:

.Use 1 main circle as 10 mm diameter

.Lines following each other with a slope of 10 degrees

.These lines should follow each other with an interval of 1 mm,

the starting point should be the perimeter of the circle.

.The end point of the lines should be the edges of the diameter of a

45 mm circle

15 min

60 min

Example Rules:

Today ı'm feeling...

Last 1 year I am feeling ...

I will be feeling...

4) Let's choice one emotive element transform a black and white poster

Discussion

Paste the finalized vertical posters on the wall.

03

15 min

Think about which gestalt rules were used.

If the unity of elements in your poster were a 3D sculpture, which parts would move in which direction and how?

Studio Brief

Discover the art of kinetic sculpture in our studio, inspired by Alexander Calder. This studio guides students to create kinetic sculptures, starting with an poster using gestalt principles to create visual unity. Transitioning to 3D forms, students explore balance and motion.

Participants will master modern design tools and enhance practical skills in project documentation, from initial design to final construction and installation, ensuring their sculptures are aesthetically pleasing and mechanically sound.

Final Project Expectations

Explore the dynamics of balance and movement in three-dimensional art forms, learning how to conceptualize and construct sculptures that are both aesthetically pleasing and mechanically sound.

Master the use of modern design tools, including CAD software and laser cutting, to translate two-dimensional ideas into physical artworks using the different material.

Develop a foundational understanding of gestalt principles in design to effectively create visual unity in kinetic sculptures.
