1) READING
Architecture – Form, Space and Order, Francis D.K. Ching
- Volume
2) SUPPLIES
- chipboard, X-acto knife holder and blades, cutting surface, elmer’s glue (there is no substitute, so bring elmer’s glue)
3) INTRODUCTION
A plane extended becomes a volume. A volume has three dimensions: length, width, and depth. All volumes consist of the basic elements, however:
- points – where planes come together
- lines – where two planes meet
- planes – the boundaries of a volume
Your first few assignments of this course involved manipulating the basic primary elements while composing two-dimensional compositions. You then worked with figure ground, which, showed the emerging three-dimensional potential of these two-dimensional images. Now, we will use these same elements and make a shallow relief.
4) ASSIGNMENT
a) Use your final interrelated space drawing as a guide for interpreting visual line weight,
b) Use your figure ground drawing to express the relationship of the object to a field.
With both guides stated above you are to translate your drawings into shallow relief. The relief is to be built up to form a surface composed of four layers of 1/8” thick chipboard (or cardboard) totaling ½” for a portion of the shallow relief. Contrastingly, at least some part of the 11” x 11” is to be void or have no material, with the remaining areas to be defined by one (1), two (2), or three (3) layers. The over all shallow relief is address the entire 11” x 11” composition.
