September 2021

This exercise was my very first in class activity! The idea was to work with foreign objects to create a sculpture without forethought or stress. Just to feel out the space and the composition. 

In general students were asked to create something that illustrates principles of design and elements of art. I think overall this piece focuses on colour with the natural scheme. Shape also plays a roll with the contrast between the organic and inorganic elements. The shapes in the middle draw the eye to a focal point but the tangent straw keeps the eye moving throughout the piece.
