FIRST YEAR STUDIO


PROPORTION A SQUARE IS STATIC, A RECTANGLE IS DYNAMIC AND PORPORTIONS CREATE A VISUAL ORDER AND HARMONY.


ABSTRACT METAPHOR OF THE HARP FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE HARP ARE IMPLEMENTED IN THIS PROJECT TO CREATE A THREE DIMENSIONAL ABSTRACTED FORM. THIS INSTRUMENT HAS ITS STRINGS POSITIONED PERPENDICULAR TO THE SOUND BOARD. THERE IS A MOVEMENT OF THE SOUNDS WAVE EXISTS IN THE STRINGS AS THEY FLOW IN THE AIR.

AS IS STRUCTURE, SO IS SPACE THE MAIN JOINT OF THE KANGAROO IS ITS LEGS AND IS BALANCED WITH ITS THIRD LEG, ITS TAIL. IN EXAMINEING THE WAYS IN WHICH THE JOINT MOVES IN THEIR LEGS, I FOUND HOW IT WORKED TOGETHER AS A WHOLE, A SPACE WAS REALIZED THAT EMBODIES THESE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KANGAROO’S LEG.
