Ephemeral Project

NWSA Sculpture 10

Ephemeral Project

Ephemeral means lasting for a very short time. We are going to make a series of sculptures that last for only a day, hour, minute, moment, or less. Like the Site Specific, these sculptures will be interacting with their environment and can use the site to help determine what they are about. Materials can be anything, get creative but do not litter. The sculptures can be indoors or outdoors and hopefully seen by someone other than your self. You must make 3 sculptures and document them by photograph or video.  

For inspiration please watch this documentary on Andy Goldsworthy: https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/andy-goldsworthys-rivers-tides/

As always the process is as important as the final product. Make sketches of your pieces with working titles and research other artists that work ephemerally and site 5 sources researched.

Homework and Sketches due April 7^th, Projects due April 9^th.
