Course Syllabus

Week 1: Introduction 14.2

Grade:8/10 Assignment Objective: To use any type of metal cans to make a 3D abstract composition.

Feedback: Good composition, but the method ot gluing the composition to the board was too messy and looked unprofessional.

Personal Reflection: This composition was fun to make, but very sharp. After i was done, i loved the whirls and the colors. However, i could have made the gluing process much cleaner.

Assignment 1: Can Yama Can

Week 2: Rectilinear Volumes 14.2

Classwork 1:

Grade:8/10 Assignment Objective: The objective was to use plasticine to form 3 abstract compositions, each made of 3 parts.

Feedback: I got feedback that it was expressive but not very neat. adn needed to be cleaner. .

Personal Reflection: I enjoyed cutting and forming shapes with plasticine, but it is not the best material because of how soft it is. It changes its shape really easily..

Grade: 9/10 Assignment Objective: To create a composition inspired from Guda Koster's work that hides at least 50% of our body.

Feedback: Our professor commented on how clean and neat it was. Also, he commented on the similarity as well as the contrast between the form and the jeans.

Personal Reflection: This project took a lot of time, and a lot of spray paint. However, I love the way it turned out

Assignment 2: Here I Am

Week 3: CurviLinear Volumes 14.2

Grade: 9/10 Assignment Objective: To create 3 abstract froms out of plasticine that are created from curvilinear shapes.

Feedback: The feedback here was also the same, but it needed to be more expresive.

Personal Reflection: At this point, i did not really want to use plasticine anymore, it was not enjoyable because of how hard it is to makae it look clean.

Classwork 2:

Assignment 3: BubbleTecture

Grade: 8.5/10 Assignment Objective: As a group, we were required to build a famous building from whatever country we wanted using balloons.

Feedback: In general, the professor liked the building. However, he commented on the tilt ourtower had, which was not the correct way the Tower of Pisa is currrently leaning..

Personal Reflection: At first, the balloons were extremely hard to manipulate as they are very delicate, and burst at the slightest of pressure. Eventually, we managed to build it as accurately as we could.

Week 4: Curvilinear and Rectilinear volumes

14.2

Classwork 3:

Grade: 8/10 Assignment Objective: To create 3 abstract froms out of plasticine that are created from curvilinear and rectilinear shapes.

Feedback: The feedback here was also the same, but it needed to be more expresive, and a little bit neater. .

Personal Reflection: At this point, i did not really want to use plasticine anymore, it was not enjoyable because of how hard it is to makae it look clean.

Grade: 7.5/10 Assignment Objective: To build a 3-piece candle that reflected the culture of a specific cuntry or region, without it being too basic or expected.

Feedback: The professor liked the colors, as it related correctly to my chosen region, which is Greece. However, he thought that it was not as creative as he wanted it to be.

Personal Reflection: Personally, i loved the way it turned out, expecially the golden touches. It did not take that long to complete, and was enjoyable to make.

Assignment 4: Shamaddan

Week 5: Fragments 14.2

Assignment 5: Carnival of the Monobloc

Grade: 8/10 Assignment Objective: In this assignment, we were asked to deform a regular garden chair, and use its fragments to make an asbtract composition.

Feedback: I was told that the composition itself was good, but the painting was not. It needed to be more consistent.

Personal Reflection: The chair was extremely hard to break apart, and that took up almost all of my time while doing this project.

Gluing the fragments went as i wanted it to, as well as the paint.

Week 6: Planar Construction 14.2

Grade: 9/10

Classwork 5:

Assignment Objective: In this classwork,we were to create 4 different compositions that described the 4 differnt states of elements with paper.

Feedback: The expressions were not as strong, but they made sense. i just needed to focus my time more.

Personal Reflection: i did not like this exercise, it was too random and couldn't think of any particular shape to describe the states. Paper also does not help because of how basic it is.

Week 7: Lines in Space 14.2

Grade: 8/10 Assignment Objective: To create 20 compositions out of wire that represented 2 tracks that the professor put on.

Feedback: That it was expressive, but needed to be more diverse.

Personal Reflection: I personally loved this exercise, even though my hands were hurting after it was done.

Classwork 6:

Midterm Submission 14.2

Interpretation of Time: Grade: 87/100

Assignment Objective: In the midterm, we were asked to make 6 compositions of the 6 different types of buildig that we took, using different materials.

We were to interpret time in our own way.

Personal Reflection: This was a creative process. it was stressful at first, but as i focused more, it became easier to imagine what time would look like.

Project 1 14.2

Phase 2: Assignment Objective: To make a composition out of nylon on wire. and paint it gold.

Feedback: They liked it and the idea, but it was shorter than the minimum height so i lost a few marks.

Personal Reflection: IThis composition was extremely hard and tiring to make, and the glue that i had to put before the gold spray was not doing its proper job.

Grade: 91/100

Project 2 14.2

ELZAN2A:

Grade: 90/100 Assignment Objective: The project is calle Inside Outside.

We were suposed to take this sentence and interpret it however we saw fit.

Feedback: The Dr liked its size and its color, but did not like the name sign beside it.

Personal Reflection: II believe that this is the funniest assignment i have done all year, i was really proud of how it came out.

Assignment Objective: This was also part of the Inside Outside.

Feedback: They said that it was too empty, and needed to be fuller. There needed to be harmony between the tree and the water at the bottom.

Personal Reflection: II did not enjoy yhe groupwork on this one becaue everyone has their opinion and they want to get it done, so it was not that fun to make.
