CLASSWORK ASSIGNMENTS

CLASSWORK 1

Assignment Objective: Using modelling clay, compose 5 different rectilinear models, each consisting of 3 different pieces.

Instructor Feedback: Similar Approach and neatness

Personal Reflection: My models were too static and stable.

RECTILINEAR VOLUMES

Grade: 7/10

CLASSWORK 2

Assignment Objective: Using modelling clay, compose 5 different curvilinear models, each consisting of 3 different pieces.

Instructor Feedback: Neatness Models are too stable

Personal Reflection: My models were too static and stable.

CURVILINEAR VOLUMES

Grade: 7.5/10

CLASSWORK 3

Assignment Objective: Using modelling clay, compose 5 different curvilinear models, each consisting of minimum 3 different pieces. Each model should follow an organisation type (grid, cluster, radial, centralised, linear)

Instructor Feedback: Neatness Arrangements are not clear

Personal Reflection: I should have arranged my models better, some arrangements are not relevant

CLASSIFICATION

Grade: 6.5/10

Linear

Cluster

Radial

Centralised

CLASSWORK 4

Assignment Objective: Using modelling clay, compose 5 different fragmented models

Instructor Feedback: Some models don't look fragmented, but composed of different shapes

Personal Reflection: I shouldn’t change the shape of the fragments after cutting them

FRAGMENTS

Grade: 7/10

CLASSWORK 5

Assignment Objective: Using construction paper, express each of the words Pulse, Dark, Spicy, Cocacola Instructor Feedback: Models are not expressive A new and different approach is used each time which is good Personal Reflection: I shouldn’t use any adhesives in this assignment

PLANAR CONSTRUCTION

Grade: 7/10

Dark

Spicy 1

Spicy 2

Pulse

Coca-cola

CLASSWORK 6

Assignment Objective: Using wires, make shapes in sync with the music playing

Instructor Feedback: Similar approach

Personal Reflection: There was many great and diverse options to make with wires. They were a little hard too handle though

LINES IN SPACE

Grade: 7.5/10

EXTRA CLASSWORK 1

Assignment Objective: Using plasticine, you are required to create a model by disobeying all the rules given

Instructor Feedback: Photography could have been improved

Personal Reflection: I could make it more creative by using more materials

BREAK THE RULES!

Grade: 8.5/10

EXTRA CLASSWORK 2

Assignment Objective: You are required to write down 9 elements, randomly choose 3 ones, and construct a model using the chosen ones. I got plasticine, University ID, and ruler.

Instructor Feedback: Model looks a bit linear

Personal Reflection: I could have used the plasticine to create a more random addition on the ruler instead of a linear line.

RANDOM SCULPTURE

Grade: 8.5/10

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

HOMEWORK 1

Assignment Objective: You are required to design and construct an abstract model by using electronic waste

Instructor feedback: I should have made the model more abstract

Personal Reflection: I enjoyed making this model, and I got more familiar with abstract compositions

E-WASTE SCULPTURE

Grade: 8/10

HOMEWORK 2

Assignment Objective: You are required to design and construct a staircase that goes to no where

Instructor feedback: Basic composition

Personal Reflection: I could have upgraded the model by adding more to the composition, or adding an exterior object like a mirror to reflect it and make it more eye-catching

STAIRWAY TO NOWHERE

Grade: 7/10

HOMEWORK 2

Assignment Objective: You are required to design and construct a moving doll, only using curvilinear volumes. Shots of your model have to be taken in motion.

Instructor feedback: You should have worked on the motion part more

Personal Reflection: I like how it resembles the main theme (Freddie Mercury Posture), and I liked the process of expressing it in a slightly abstract way

FIGURINE IN MOTION

Grade: 8/10

HOMEWORK 4

Assignment Objective: Using both curvilinear and rectilinear volumes, design and construct a post-modern vase

Instructor feedback: Neatness could be improved

Personal Reflection: I could have used a more volumetric object for the triangular part

VASE

Grade: 6.5/10

HOMEWORK 5

Assignment Objective: You are required to fragment a black and white selfie of yourself and transform it into a 3D model.

Instructor feedback: Looks 2dimensional

Personal Reflection: Bigger volumes and more spaces between each part of the model could have made it better

FRAGMENTED SELFIE

Grade: 7/10

Description: Using a black & white printed photograph(s) of yourself, you are required to deconstruct it then transform the fragmented pieces into a 3D composition. You are allowed to distort your photos, combine multiple shots or even use closeups.

Evaluation criteria: • Aesthetic qualities of composition • Creativity of material use and selection • Quality of execution • Experimentation with photography Constraints and requirements: • Photograph(s) is to measure 30x30 cm.

• Maximum height of 30cm. Do not simply extrude the photo to fulfill height requirements. Requirements must be fulfilled through the volumetric composition.

• Units of composition must be volumetric; not planar. Minimum thickness of any element must be 2cm.

• You have ultimate control over material selection, and finishing, selecting the most complimentary combinations.

• All surfaces on the composition must be cladded with either the fragmented photo or an achromatic (black/ white/ grey) finish.

• Baseboard of size 30x30cm.

• Composition is to be photographed from at least its front, side and top, clearly documenting it in its context.

Fragmented Selfie

HOMEWORK 6

Assignment Objective: You are required to design and construct a bird sculpture using planar materials (paper, newspaper)

Instructor feedback: Design is too basic

Personal Reflection: I liked the idea of using origami but I should have added more to the design to make it more creative

BIRD SCULPTURE

Grade:7/10

MIDTERM EXAM

Assignment Objective: You are required to express the words “Siri”, “Toktok”, “Haifa Wehbe”, “Salty”, “Disney”, “Detox”, “Silent” by constructing a 3D model.

Instructor feedback: Neatness could be improved

Personal Reflection: I focused on creating expressive designs rather than focusing on the aesthetics, I should have balanced more

Grade:70/100

SIRI

DISNEY

TOKTOK

DETOX

HAIFA WEHBE

SALTY

SILENT

PROJECT 1

PHASE 1

Assignment Objective: Using a variety of elements, you are required to carefully design and execute a mobile sculpture that is both kinetic and equilibrium

Instructor feedback: Idea is very good but execution still needs work

Personal Reflection: I tried to create the illusion of a face turning around using wires and the mechanism and concepts of kinetic mobiles

PHASE 2

Instructor feedback: A thicker, sturdier wire would have upgraded the model so much. The shadow effect enhanced it though.

Personal Reflection: I liked the effect of the shadow, but I wanted to use a thicker wire but bending it was so hard and resulted in sharp edges. I could have searched for better ways to shape sturdy wires though.

FINAL PROJECT

PHASE 1

Corner Selection

Inspiration 2

Assignment Objective: Pick an indoor or outdoor corner and construct a 3D artistic installation, exploring and expressing your individual creative vision

Instructor feedback: Show more sky and less of the building and remove unwanted objects as pipe and lamp for a cleaner setting

Personal Reflection: I picked an outdoor roof and my ideas was based on imitating a real-life scenery using models that I constructed myself.

Inspiration 1

Inspiration 3

PHASE 2

Instructor feedback: Cloud models are so dense, birds would look better if arranged in a certain path rather than being randomly scattered

Personal Reflection: Clouds are not so realistic so improved them and made it look more fluffy in the following phase

PHASE 3

Instructor feedback: Design, construction, and shadows are nice.

Clouds should have been moved a little upwards though.

Personal Reflection: I enjoyed the process of making this model specially the part of adding dimension to make look more 3D and realistic. I achieved this by placing each part in a different depth and showing the shadows.
