new project: vessel/rotoform

Saturday, October 25, 2008 | |


We're starting on the vessel project which sounds utterly fantastic! The assignment:

In this project, students developed processes for generating objects with rotationally formed profiles. Through critical observation and experimentation, students created watertight, three-dimensional volumetric vessel forms that were inspired/informed by the plant form they contained.

Each vessel was required to contain and present the plant form in an appropriate and aesthetic way, and interface well with the contextual environment. This project focused on the formal qualities of sculptural objects and functional art.

I was assigned a dracaena plant (which is a nice leafy plant). More to come...
