3D Project 1 Recap

When sketching ideas for the project 1 final, I definitely had a lot of inspiration from Peter Shire, who makes playful and juvenile yet non-objective furniture and sculptures. From the feedback I got, I’m glad I was able to express the dynamism, tension, and balance I planned. One idea that I will use to push myself in the future regarding the object in the round is the relationship between the horizontal and vertical axes; the sculpture mainly focuses on the horizontal axis and to go to the next level there should be more of a balance between the two. However, the dynamism between the two objects on the platform connected through the string was definitely my main goal. I sketched with the sphere in mind but ended up using the cylinder because of its visual weight and also ended up tilting the cone itself on the platform from a sketch critique. Overall I had fun making this final project with the freedom we had after strict guidelines on the other shapes.
