IX. Final project

I. SCAVENGER HUNT Task: The task was to look for leftovers around the campus and create a composition that reflects a keyword.

Concept: My group and I gathered a balloon, a small paper box, and a ribbon to create a hot air balloon that represents FREEDOM.

Materials: -Baloon -Paper -Ribbon

II. RECTILINEAR Task: We were asked to start experimenting, by creating 3 compositions (each composition has 3 forms) (3x3) using plasticine. We also learned that each composition contains a dominant form, a subdominant form, and a subordinate form.

Concept: Those three models represent simplicity as they are placed calmly and well-balanced.

Material: -Plasticine

III. CURVILINEAR

Task: We were asked to start experimenting, by creating 3 compositions using curvilinear shapes

Material: -Plasticine

Concept:

Concept:

Concept:

This model represents BALANCE as two shapes are already balancing on a sphere.

This model represents victory as the sphere is the head of a soldier, the cone is his arm, and the semisphere is the defending tool

This model represents WARRIOR because it gives us the feeling that the cone is a soldier holding his canon to shoot.

IV. RECTI-CURVI

turret

Materials: -Plasticine -Paper -Foam -Plastic bowls -Tape

Task: We were asked to create a composition using both rectilinear and curvilinear shapes. Once in plasticine, and another using different materials.

Concept: The shape represents a turret to fire with in war.

V. FRAGMENTS Task:

Task:

We were asked to form a model with curvy and straight edges and then cut each randomly.

We were asked to design one or two geometric solids. The forms should differ in size and character. Divide the solid into at least three fragments.

Establish dominant, subdominant, and subordinate relationships. Make a unified visual statement.

Materials: -Plasticine -Cotton -White paper -Foam -Wood stick

Material: -Plasticine

VI. WIRES Task: We were asked to listen to 3 Arabic songs by Egyptian artists and create 3 different models using wires

Material: -Wire

Concept:

Concept:

Concept:

I chose the song Aghla men el yaqout -Ahmed Mekky

I chose the song Rage3 -Amr Diab

I chose the song Enta te2dar -Banque Misr

Keyword: FATHERHOOD

Keyword: OVERTHINKING

Keyword: NEVER GIVE UP

VII. MIDTERM PROJECT Task: We were asked to design an outdoor play item inspired by nature as our midterm project. It encompasses the 3-dimensional basic concepts and rules practiced earlier in the semester.

Concept: My model represented a playground that contains not only one game but several, so children do not get bored and have the freedom to play in this vast variety of plays.

Materials: -Buls wood -Wire -Foam boards -Paper/strings

Inspiration

VIII. PLANAR Task: We were asked to create a planar representing a sports park with only one material to focus on the planar concepts and not the decorations and colors.

Concept: I created a paintball arena. the planar concepts helped me in demonstrating differences in levels by utilising angles and both rectilinear and curvilinear.

Material: -Foamboards

IX. FINAL PROJECT Task:

We were required to deliver a composition that serves as a built product for children. Your design is to be placed in the 1992 Aga Khan awarded “Cultural Park for Children” Sayeda Zeinab by the late prof, AbdelHalim Ibrahim. Accordingly, a field trip is essential to determine the function, material, and use of the product appropriately.

Concept: The installation has varying heights punctured with a series of apertures connected to let the children pass by. My primary purpose was to match the cultural park's conceptual design. I chose 2 shades of blue to illustrate the sea world that most kids are interested to understand at a young age.

Materials: -Foam/Tubes/Paint colors/Wood

COURSE REFLECTION Certainly, this course was the most outstanding one this semester. At first, I doubted my capability to perform well in this course but thanks to my classmates, my teacher assistants, and mainly Professor Heba, you all pushed me to be on the right track and also helped me achieve my highest potential. Your feedback helped me progress but your encouragement served as a motivator that every time helped me to go further with my creativity and perform better work. That is why, I would like to severely thank architect Heba Safey Eldeen, architect Salma El Banna, and architect Sara for their never-ending efforts with me.

THANK YOU
