Learning by your own to work with plasticine is of course not an easy task.

However, you get to discover the beauty of representing a composition, your model with such a useful tool.

Another method of representing your building is starting off with a plasticine model then transforming it into an actual functional building that serve a purpose for people. The libarary is what you are about to see in this week’s assignment.

WEEK

One way to get better at what you do is by testing it first using plasticine.

Making sure that the elements are balanced and that they work together is essential. After doing that step, changing yourmaterial gives it a whole new perspective.

It is about time that we blend our knowledge and try something different.

The rectilinear forms from week 02 and the curvilnear forms method from week 04 are being combined creating a curvi-recti composition.

Playing with one element creating a bunch of other is a whole lot of fun.

Once fragmented you combine them with different connections.

For the past 6 weeks, we have been working on the concept and theories of comoposition, now has come the time to use them in real life. Let us have a look on how it turned out with the lighting fixture.

Learning all about the movement is important to create good composition.

In this week, i use socks and white glue to represent the smoothness of that movement.

Creating a design is not about having a lot of materials. However, with just one milk bottle we can create lots of design for spaces. Let us have a look this paper milk bottle design.

It has been essential to learn all about a good composition and how it is useful throughout this course. Not only that but it is also applicable in our daily lives.

A trophy is all about expressing that good composition.

WEEK 2 REQUIREMENTS

.

1-Statement.

2-Create 3 different compositions. In each composition there should be 3 elements: dominant, sundominant and subordinate.

It should be interesting from all sides.

3-Study the relationship between each composition on the board and examine the negative space they create and decide which position will create this connection the best.

22

THE CONCEPT OF TIME has always been a factor to consider. In fact we are always in an inevitable conflict with it. But as Steve Jobs said: “It is clear that (it is )the most precious ressource we all have �

THE PAST

“Precious�.

We often refer to the past as a wondeful and precious time because we tend to miss it.

In this composition, the dominant element which is the cube is the most valuable part. it is wraped up by to other elements that are holding it closely. its presence define the whole concept of the past.

In order words, the past is so precious that it makes you learn.

The two other elements tend to serve as hands with the purpose of not letting go.

23

ANALYSIS subordinate enclosed hands precious object dominant

INSPIRATION

subdominant

“Homage to a precious object” by J. Stonley.

FEEDBACK the idea of the cube changing its size from each composition is good

good use of negative space some shapes are not complete because they should be all the way through

24

.

THE PRESENT “Imprisoned vulnerability�.

Having a past that you hold on to represents wonderful memories, unables you to get out of your comfort zone.

This inability to move or to act is represented by the cube (becoming a subdominant) where the obstacles we face is keeping us still and not moving. the obstacles we face represented by the cuboid trap us in a world where we cannot act.

25

ANALYSIS Obstacles that we face in our everyday life. They are the things that make us weak and that unable us from doing what we want. They rather control us.

The cube represents every human being.

OBJECTS STACKED ONE OVER THE OTHER TO REPRESENT THE VULNERABILITY OF THE CUBE

The base is what holds us and keeps us still during our journey.

The fact that they are stacked (one over the other is not a good idea beacuse it is on the ground and does not show any real elevation The shapes between the dominant and the subordinate could have been better if they were different.

Dominant

Subdominant Subordinate

26

FEEDBACK

.

.

THE FUTURE “Mysteriously spontaneous�.

The future, something we look forward too. the cube itself is getting smaller and is opening itself to new oportunities.

The subordinate (cube) represents change and progressivness. it is ambiguous, mysterious and more importantly spontenous.

27

ANALYSIS

This dominant cuboid represents all the gained experience from the past.

The cube representing the future is facing outside meaning it is looking forward to new things and to gain experience

Both the obstacles and the things that kept you going in life are supporting the future (cube)

FEEDBACK Subordinate Good piercing

Nearly symmetric Dominant Subdominant

It is nice how the cube is standing out

WEEK 3

ANALYSIS OF THE PLASTICINE MODEL The new element is thinner because it gives more meaning to the composition then when it was thick.

REQUIREMENTS Using plasticine, finalize one of the models from week 2.

Make sure to respect the rules and adjust the proportions and the connections.

Added part in the back

CONCEPT

the concept of time: the past. the past is represented here as something precious (the cube).

It is enclosed and holded by 2 other elements.

Gap that should not have been there because the elements should be complete

Old model

New model

NEW PLASTICINE MODEL

Arrows in different directions to illustrate the variety in axis and to assure that the elements are not parallel nor symmetric to each other.

35

FROM PLASTICINE TO FINAL MODEL

36

This height is 1/4 of the height of the element.

RELATION

Preciousness = central element enclosed by the two other elements.

Transparent material= glass divided into 3 levels Negative space = place for people to walk in.

Same elements are present.

37

FINAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The composition has 3 elements. From all sides, the center piece remains the cube. Holding it are 2 cuboids. The one that has more light is made with bals wood. in contrast with the one with the black foam board.

Inside the cube there are major details in a small skcale.

LIBRARY

INSPIRATION

The Spaces Vast vinyl library designed

by Moongyu Cho, Seoul Wood

part reserved for conferences and projects

Glass

part reserved for study purposes either reading, studying, writing or anything related. part reserved for the preservation of books, astronomy seing...

ANALYSIS This composition represents a library. The library consists of the main part which is the cube in the middle. This part has 3 levels which are reserved for study purposes and reading.

The right part is for conferences or projects.

I worked with acrylic to illustrate glass because natural light gives a good opportunity for people to read.

The dominant part is detailed and well represented .

The building is missing functionnality for the subdominant and the subordinate forms.

The materialas work with each other.

RISK

VS

REQUIREMENTS Choose 2 opposite statement. For eaach statement there should be one composition using plasticine.

The best one of them will be used further in the assignment.

CONCEPT My 2 opposite statements are Risk and Tranquility. Being at risk is being exposed to danger unlike tranquility where everything is calm and monotonaus.

44

TRANQUILITY

RISK

ANALYSIS

Imagine youself under a pointy edge. How would that make you feel? would you be anxious and feel the risk? in fact, the danger is represented by the cone that is about to fall because it is nearly lying on an inclinde object. pointy edge =risk

DETAILED GRADE OVERALL(8.5/10) CONCEPT(8.7/10).

WORKMANSHIP(8.3/10).

inclined element= sensation of unstability

FEEDBACK The risk is well represented by the pointy cone. needs to rotate 90 degrees

Subdominant Dominant Subordinate

RULES OF COMPOSITION(8.3/10).

45

TRANQUILITY

DESCRIPTION This composotion has 3 elements. The cone is dominant and is facing upwards. Pierced into this element is a semi sphere facing down. To create that balance between the 2 elements a third one is added and it is a cylinder. The cone is touching the ground from its edge and the semi-sphere is lifted completely.

46

ANALYSIS

The cone is ending at a specific point and hold a horizontal semisphere which represents that calmness and monotonous feeling.

The elements together do not represent a risk or any danger. They are balanced.

The cylinder is still which is not causing any disturbance.

FEEDBACK The composition is really good, the elements together are Cone facing up = improvement or evolution = not what its supposed to mean in this context.

48

DESCRIPTION As we can see there are 3 elements in this composition.

The cone is done with 8 cork circles with different diameter and they are all put in to black painted barbecue stick. On the back, there are 2 other elements: the cylinder done with a glue gun stick and wires.

The semisphere is a combinaison of foam board, cork and wood.

DESCRIPTION The cone is on a semisphere and is holding a cube.

All the elements are facing up

The cone facing up is looking at a higher power

ORIGINAL SKETCH

ANALYSIS

This cone is lifted up, so it is on its way to reach that point.

FEEDBACK The composition is good however maybe because of the shortage of plasticine and the limited class time, the neatness is not at its best.

good pierced cube.

This cuboid misses neatness

might have been done better (maybe because its small scale, so its harder) nice use of the cone

“RED BRIDGE”

BY PAUL KLEE

“COLOR AND I ARE ONE. I AM A PAINTER”

An artist influenced by cubism, expressionism and surrealism, Paul Klee deeply explored the color theory. His work reflect his chilodish perspective of the world, his humor, personal moods, his musicality and beliefs.

CONCEPT Colors are child-like but illustrates the vivacity and liveliness of the European architecture Transforming complex objeccts to simples forms.

Representing European Architecture

66

Materials: Elastics, sponge shapes and wires.

We can see different simple shapes: cylinder, halfsphere, sphere...

ANALYSIS:

Inspired by the movement of a certain green material that looks like fabric.

Reinforce the smoothness in the texture i choose to work with knee high socks. The fact that it is easily shaped before gluying is because of the wires allows that flow.

5- Your design could be by wires, planes or a mix between both, you can also add some curvilinear or rectilinear forms if it matches with your inspiration picture

CONCEPT OF DESIGNS This design represents a couple embracing each other. The man in this figure is represented in the rectilinear shapes (triangular and rectangular), unlike the woman shown by the curvilenear shapes and the circle. The area of intersection between the curvilenear and the rectlinear shape signifies the love between the two. It is hard to tell when the person stops and the other one begins. At this moment, they are one.

92

DRAFT.1

DESCRIPTION OF THE NECKLACE same colors wires The two figures (the man and the woman are blended together

curvileanear pattern = woman

rectillinear pattern = man

FEEDBACK

ANALYSIS The connection between both shows how rectilinear and curvilinear are linked. how both the man and woman become one because of their love for each other.

Space for shoulder

The rectilinear part is not well represented with wires, try using another material.

The shoulder part is a good idea.

This part needs part needs to be closer to the neck.

The necklace looks very rough because of the wires.
