In Progress Finished piece Question #1: When I was creating this piece my process was not much of one, it was just going for it. I made an initial design but when I started doing the piece I didn’t end up using it at all. When I started doing this piece I just used my hands to shape everything and went with it until I felt it was finished and abstract. Question #2: When I started this project I started out with an obstacle almost immediately. I was trying to make this piece without thinking 3-D. The next day I came in and just used my hands to work on reshaping the piece without a plan and it ended up working together when I just tried to redo the piece from my mistake point. I overcame this by concentrating on the 3-D aspect of the piece because originally I wasn’t thinking 3-D which messed me up. Question #3: I picked the colors for the piece red and blue to contrast warm and cold colors and then the black to add a sense of “emptiness” to the holes and bottom of the piece. I wanted main attention to be on the warm and cold contrasting sides of the piece and not the holes, top, or bottom. Question #4: I found the abstract part of my piece really successful. I feel like my piece really shows abstract art because I just went into the project head on without much of a plan and created it as I went. The piece doesn’t have a true shape which shows the abstract part of it and the colors also make it abstract because they aren’t perfect.
Question #1: I found a few things successful about my piece and think it turned out fairly well. I was really happy with how smooth my lines and cardboard pieces were, which made the piece look like it was put together with ease. I also found the sizing of all pieces successful. I’m very happy with the sizing of all elements of the piece, and I think the size all together makes the piece look “cute”. I think the smooth likes and size work together to make the piece look cute. Question #2: If I were to do this project I would change the amount of detail, and add more relief. I think that the elephant lacked some detail that could of fit really well on the body, like possibly more hearts, adding stars, more facial or trunk detail, and more detail on the toes/ feet. I also would have liked to add more relief into the body so that the elephant could have realistic body lines and just more relief would bring the piece all together. Question #3: Some advice I would give to someone starting this project is to really plan out your piece before you start so that you don’t have to back track a lot while you’re doing the project. I had a big issue with trying to find big relief spots and had to redo the head a few times because I couldn’t figure out how to add relief there. I would just say to make sure you’re planning out your piece and to think details because details can really bring the cardboard pieces together.
