Sculpture Workshop I Project
#3
Problem:
Create a site specific installation piece that uses ceramic material as
the primary media that utilizes documentation to enhance presentation.
Objective:
Understand several
approaches to making site specific art.
Develop a
concept for an installation piece through writing.
Make a
sculptural object that can be considered site specific.
Execute documentation by using photographic vantage point to
enhance the presentation of installation art.
Be able to recognize scatter art, modular art, installation
art.
Strategy: Write several paragraphs about the
specific space and why you have chosen it for your project. Discuss in this writing how you will incorporate
your ceramic objects into this environment and how these objects will activate
the space. Make several sketches
exploring how the space can be utilized as well as detailed representation of
how the ceramic material will look in the final project. After receiving feedback from your instructor
make your piece and document it in its finished state for presentation to the
class.
IMPORTANT
Consider a
specific space outside of the studio for an art installation. Create your activation of the space with a
specific concept in mind. Have a strong
formal relationship for this space and be prepared to discuss how you have used
it. The relationship between these
pieces must be established on a formal level using, scale, texture, color,
etc. The space you utilize must be
specific to your idea and relate to the piece.
Consider the following:
-What is the
significance of the type of object you have chosen to make?
-How will
the pieces or material be placed for installation and how is the space between
the objects/ interaction of material and space important to the content of the
work.
-How will
the color of the pieces impact the final presence of the piece?
-Be creative
with how the object is installed. Will
it hang? Sit on the floor? Sit on top of another object?
