Assignment #2: Solids
Here is my second assignment that I finally managed to get done. Originally, I had something completely different. I spackled it with 2 different types of spackle and they dried in different tones (one was cheap and the other was heavy duty quality). I decided to spray paint it to make it all a solid white, however, it ate through the cheap spackle and then the styrofoam. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and not to mention I had to start over. This project dealt with how solids interact with space around it. Also, I had to learn what threshold meant. I believe that I met the requirements of the assignment. I had to make the composition with only three solids and make it dynamic in the round. I feel I met that criteria, however, there are things I wish I could fix. Styrofoam is difficult to sand down and make smooth so there are little flakes of styrofoam that stick out. I feel it could have been more dynamic. I didn’t realize how heavy the sphere shape was until the gluing process so I had to play off of that to try and find a solution. I think it is promising, but it could definitely use some more touch-ups. I would argue that I have hierarchy going on in the composition that has 2 out of 3 shapes that are triangular so I feel there is an emphasis on the sphere shape.
