Activate The Void
Students will use their knowledge of line design from previous assignments to create 3-dimensional geometric shapes. With this project the students will demonstrate how one can see shapes out of negative space.
· Students will create three dimensional objects based upon line design
· Students first make a skeletal mainframe (a series of tooth picks glued in a line then, the lines are glued together to create a shape…which will be approved by the teacher)
· Upon this shape students will construct detailed line design
· When finished students will partake in a class critique
Success Criteria
We know we are successful when:
Directions:
1. Wood glue the tooth picks together "1 to 1" --
o Make about18-25 sets
2. Connect 2 of your "1 to 1" sets together for a total of "4 in a row"
o Make at least 8 sets of 4 in a row
3. Connect 1 of your "1 to 1" sets to your "4 in a row" set for a series of 6 toothpicks long.
4. Cut them all to size
5. Create a shape glueing the corners together with with hot glue. Only use a little bit of hot glue you do not need a lot.
6. Construct a form from the shape.
o add support
7. Fill in sides with line design
o Parabolic curve
o Or any of the designs we used on the first worksheet we did in class
8. All sides top and bottom must be filled in

Step 1:
Step 2:
Add your detail to the mainframe/armature.
Be aware of the how your sculpture actives the space around itself as well as within itself.
