Project #5: Apparatus for Capturing Sound > assembling NARRATIVES via CARVING






Understand the interior and exterior of the ear (human or other) by subtractivly carving it from foam.

 Create an apparatus for sound for your created ear (media of choice)



The apparatus for sound needs to include what the ear is listening to (media of choice), to thereby capture the sound.  Think about ambient sound that is with us at all times > our internal beatings, breath, air movement, leaves rustling, cars and trucks humming, florescent light bulbs pulsing. 

Insert the 2 forms to visually present a surrealist narrative of the ear + apparatus for sound visualized = X

 DUE: THURSDAY NOV 7th

Multi Media Presentations

Select one artist from the Sculptural List we have been working with in our course together.   You will create a 5-7 minute multi media presentation that introduces the work of the sculptor's work to our course. You may have index cards to assist you.  You need to need to produce one slide presenting their back ground information and the following: Name Nationality birth/death date Style of their work / materials of their work Influences of the work they created Did they attend higher education, where? Are they affiliated with a gallery? Have they had museum exhibitions? Followed by two examples of the sculptor's work, either on one slide or in two separate slides. Give an image to both examples with complete details Title (in italics) Date Materials Dimensions How was the work made? Where is it now? Make sure you s earch to see if they have a website as it will give a great deal of information! Or in other essays written about...

Project #4: Inside out Membranes & the Exterior

Overview  In this project we will be exploring how the exterior of an object, when observed in a sensory fashion, is informative of the origins, the interior and identity of an object.   Through this visual and tactile information, we are often able to ascertain the identity of an object, and if the object is foreign to us, we are able to give some context in which the object might exist.   This project aims to explore how we associate with an object, and then poses new parameters as to how that object might exist, studying the nuances of the connections between interior/surface/form/identity. Methods  This is an observational project, and consists of three sequential steps to successful completion.   They are: Step 1 Find an object that is organic in nature, and exhibits surface characteristics that are interesting to you.   It can be smooth, rough, shiny, scratchy, prickly, etc.   Bring t...

Project #6 Modifications on a Theme via WOOD

This project will take you through experience on a number of hand and power wood tools. We will be creating a life size STOOL that MUST hold your body weight for 15 minutes! Research on-line and from the images below Modify one stool that suits your fancy! POWER TOOLS to be trained on: Drill Saw Band Saw Jig Saw Belt Sander Chop Saw Small Circular Saw Electric Drill Level In your stool's design, you need to show your proficiency with the use of the above tools, incorporating the following: a straight cut a curved cut a hole a sanded area a drilled area making use of a level two join types: i. glued & ii. drilled  Your embellishments should be thought provoking to create some sort of NATURE / CULTURE narrative. Think of the narratives you created with  Project #5 > Apparatus for Sound This is an opportunity to really dig deep and expand your ideas thoughtfully, and thoroughly. This may be a mixed media project with the stool are...
