Dominant/Subdominant/Subordinate or Line/Plane/Volume

In this assignment the students covered many of the the basic principles of creating aesthetically pleasing 3 dimensional designs like...
-Activating space in in x,y,and z axis
-creating a dynamic composition through variation in character and size in the 3 rectilinear volumes.
-creating visual and spacial interest by connecting and combining the 3 volumes through cradling, wedging, and piercing
The students started by creating small 3 dimensional sketches in clay. They then chose a direction and scaled the the sketch up on size in clay. They then created a final composition in wood. This was a one 1.5 week project.
