Activated Sculpture

In this project, you have total freedom with size and materials, the only requirement is that each piece will be completed by a human. This is a very concept heavy assignment and I want to see written ideas before you get started with construction.

Mobile Project

We have made pieces that sit on the floor or engage the walls but now we will make a piece that floats in the air. Using wood, cardboard, or found objects you will make a piece that hangs from the ceiling. This is an entry to the world of kinetic sculpture as well as occupying space away from a floor or wall. Each Mobile will need to have at least 6 distinct moving parts and all be supported by a single attachment point to the ceiling. We will further discuss the use of balance formally and physically and continue to explore creating volume. We will critique on April 23rd.
