DIALOG COMPARISON

As I looked through out the room at all of my fellow students models, two particular ones caught my attention. Of all the projects, only in a few did I find where negative space was incorporated in the project to make one or more of the spaces. In one example, a four sided shape made up of bristol board clearly defined one of the required two spaces. For the second space, the same shape was repeated but was formed by a frame of skewers. Even though there were not solid walls around the space, the area was clearly define. The two spaces/shapes fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces.
The second project that incorporated the idea of negative space was a cube that was formed by two separate triangles put together. The frame of the cube was made up of the skewers and bristol board ran along the middle, cutting the space into two equal parts. Once again, this project's spaces were made up of the negative space that was created from the frame of the skewers. The two areas were proportionate to one another, and once again, fit together.

DIALOG

This project was titled, "Dialog." The object was to create two spaces that "relate to one another in a mutually supportive way," using 12 pieces of 4"x6" bristol board and 12 skewers. We were limited to only making one fold with each piece of bristol board.

My first idea was to use parallels, but the result was a little bland.



In my next model, I made two spaces that were more defined.




I was then given the suggestion that the spaces would more clearly be defined if the model was turned upside down.



After yet another critique, I was advised that if two skewers were place in the middle, it would break up and define the space even more. Below is my final model.

UNITY


This past project was to create anything by using 12 skewers and 12 pieces of bristol board cut 4" x 6" and set upon a 12" square base. The object was to take the complete different materials and unify them.

FIRST RENDITION


My craft on my first project was especially messy and the base did not give the structure enough support.
