Assignment:
Using only white copy paper (do not use card stock) make
three paper sculptures that visually narrate The Metamorphosis. Employ elements
and principles of design to visually communicate your intentions.
This assignment uses limited materials and does not allow
the use of tape, glue or any other form of adhesive.
The three paper sculptures are to represent the setting
discussed in The Metamorphosis and will be miniature. The three sculptures are:
1.) A bed (must contain a mattress, a box spring, a bed
frame, a headboard and at least one pillow and one blanket)
2.) Gregor
3.) Your Choice
Do not use card stock.
If white is part of your design, white ink must be
used. Do not rely on the white copy
paper.
All forms are to be three-dimensional. Address all planes on all forms. Example, a
mattress has six sides (planes).
Mattress and box spring are two separate forms.
Bed frame and headboard are two separate forms.
All forms do not have to attach.
You may use water to deconstruct paper and activate glue
embedded in paper.
Final solution should be stable and visually communicate
your response to the reading.
Objective:
-Introduce the construction of three-dimensional form with
the simple process of transformed plane.
- Provide the tools and structure needed for conceptual
development.
-Expose students to the collaborations made between
literature and visual art.
-Provide students with the experience of extracting design
elements and principles such as line, color, texture, shape, scale, space,
pattern, focal point, balance and repetition from the written word and apply to
visual work.
Materials:
White copy paper, ink set, brushes, scissors, Exacto knife,
cut matt. Pens and pencils optional.
