Tuesday: Photography

In class we worked on the assignment about beauty. Each of us discussed 10 images that communicate beauty with the teacher one-to-one.

Wednesday: Sculpting

There was a show and tell of each of the five models assigned for abstract constructivist sculpture. Here are two views each of my five models.


Flat planes

Straight line and flat planes

Curved line and flat plane

Curved planes

Curved line and curved plane

The next step is to choose one and build five models on that recipe. I chose curved line and flat plane – my curved line penetrates the flat plane (an isosceles triangle) at two points.

Friday – Printmaking

I began the first etch on my litho stone. We were shown the methods of treating the drawing with chemicals in two stages.
