‘SUBSTITUTION, DISPLACEMENT’ (Materials, Mass and Space)
“OBSERVE TO LEARN, MAKE & TRIAL TO LEARN”
Week 3, 16th – 18th March, 2021 Inspirations: ‘SUBSTITUTION, DISPLACEMENT’ (Materials, Mass and Space) Brief – 1. Exercise: explore pouring PLASTER or CONCRETE. 2. Introduce Plaster and Cement forms into your planar and linear constructions by developing new works.
4th Attempt: Colour Exploration: Add violet dye to plaster. Pour coloured PLASTER into planar and linear cardboard box construction.
4th Attempt: Colour Exploration: Add violet dye to plaster. Pour coloured PLASTER into planar and linear cardboard box construction. 3rd Attempt: Colour Exploration: Add red and brown dye to plaster. Pour coloured PLASTER into planar and linear cardboard box construction. Planar and Linear Exercise / Enlarge scale = Oblong Box DESIGN Planar and Linear Exercise / Enlarge scale = Oblong Box DESIGN

Then reconstruct this part by adding sides, etc., to make the base-support for the steel/pallet timber sculpture. Next… paint a dark colour to emphasise a dense, heavy weight.PLANAR & LINEAR Focus: Friday: Buy STEEL (3.6 metres / Cut 1.8 x2) from Metal Factory and bend STEEL at Workshop! Deconstruct a large wooden PALLET and measure small, medium, and large pieces and cut with a circular saw. Then drill holes into each part. Trial pallet timber pieces onto steel sculpture. ‘SPIKE’ – Pallet Steel Sculpture (PLANAR & LINEAR, WEIGHT) ‘SPIKE’ – Pallet Steel Sculpture (PLANAR & LINEAR, WEIGHT) ‘SPIKE’ – Pallet Steel Sculpture (PLANAR & LINEAR, WEIGHT)
