part 1: analyze the composition into what we feel it is depicting. using flimsy tracing paper and a pencil i attacked the drawing with ideas. the climax of part a was to be a finished self interpretation of our composition. the board was to be 24" x 24" and composed of black ink lines. my thoughts behind the composition were mainly based around the intersections of the lines. i brought the mindset that these lines were structural planes curving extravagantly into the air and that there was a webbing that aided in the withstanding of the structure. the piece was "Structured Madness"
-original composition
-my final drawing
part 2: create a foam core model expressing your new composition in 3D form. here i initially started with the idea that the planes intersecting were flat/straight. beams ran across as the webbing. this model was to be an initial creation of our 3D form.
-3/16" foam core model
part 3: create a refined basswood model expressing your ideas. this model was to be more of an evolution from our previous model and was to associate back to our composition. my wood model finally evolved to a status where the planes were curved and the webbing was thinner and more entwined with the entire structure.

this overall assignment was a good experience. although it was extremely abstract and was not supposed to be thought of as a "building," i did enjoy what i got out of it. i improved in my ability to think abstractly and to really deduce what it is i am looking at and interpret it in my own way. i am going to keep improving my work ethic with my initial ideas in the sense of creating more study models and a lot more freehand sketches. hope you enjoyed this first project and look forward to the next one....which will hopefully involve the designing of a building.
