Relief symmetry
For this project we will be creating a relief sculpture with things that you have around the house and that is based on symmetry. As a reminder, symmetry is the principle of design where parts are arranged equally on sides. For this project, you can use reflective symmetry or radial symmetry. Each type of symmetry is explained below. over the course of three days you will be:
DAY 1 - Reviewing the concept of symmetry & answering two simple questions
DAY 2 - Finding objects to use and telling me what objects you will use
DAY 3- Creating your symmetrical relief sculpture and submitting a photo of your final relief sculpture.
Each day is explained in more detail below.
DAY 1 - Reviewing the concept of symmetry & answering two simple questions
DAY 2 - Finding objects to use and telling me what objects you will use
DAY 3- Creating your symmetrical relief sculpture and submitting a photo of your final relief sculpture.
Each day is explained in more detail below.
DAY 1 - Reviewing the concept of symmetry & answering two simple questions. There are two types of symmetry that you can use. Reflective (regular) and Radial.
REFLECTIVE - objects arranged to be same on both sides of a central line. Like a butterfly. See the video below.
REFLECTIVE - objects arranged to be same on both sides of a central line. Like a butterfly. See the video below.
RADIAL - Radial symmetry is objects arranged to be the same around a central point. Like a flower. See the video below.
This video calls int radial balance , but its the same thing as radial symmetry
DAY 2 - Today you will find object around your house/yard that you want to use for this sculpture. Here are some examples. Remember that if you are doing reflective symmetry you will need at least two of each object (one on each side) . If you are doing radial symmetry you will need more of each object.
DAY 3 - Here is an example of a final submission. I would aim for no less than 20 objects
