Assignment - Complete five sculptures. Two from life, three hybrid. For the hybrids - observe the apparent elements and principles of your two chosen objects. Exaggerate, Elongate, Repeat, Dissect, Magnify these elements and principles in order to create the hybrid forms.
Materials: Roma Plastilina clay, Kemper ribbon carving tool set, banning wheel, two objects approved by Laura.
hybrid |ˈhīˌbrid|
noun
a thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture : the final text is a hybrid of the stage play and the film.
Form the Walker Art Center:
In art forms, hybridity could mean the blurring of traditional distinct boundaries between artistic media such as painting, sculpture, film, performance, architecture, and dance. It also can mean cross-breeding art-making with other disciplines, such as natural and physical science, industry, technology, literature, popular culture, or philosophy. Hybrid art forms expand the possibilities for experimentation and innovation in contemporary art.
Today’s artists are free to make art with whatever material or technique they can imagine. This freedom creates new opportunities to express ideas and concepts. It also opens up a number of challenges, choices, and decisions for artists:
Should I work to master a traditional art form or should I work to create innovative new art forms? Or should I do both?
Should I experiment with materials that are industrial or outside the scope of my studio if those materials seem to be the best way to express my artistic goals?
How can I define myself as an artist if I am shifting, combining, and recombining techniques from inside and outside the worlds of art?
Blurring boundaries, breaking rules, and creating hybrids occupies much artistic work today. However, making meaning in art—whatever tools, materials, or techniques are used—remains central to artistic practice. It is important for viewers to keep this in mind as they explore innovative art today. Link here for more resources.
Step 1 - Research "hybrid" design. I have a few links on this blog. Check out the right column, under the heading "hybrid". Read above information.
Step 2 - Prepare (well developed) sketches of your two approved objects. Three sketches for each object. Each sketch is a different view. In addition to the visual documentation that occurs with sketching, document what you see in written form. Include your written notes somewhere on the sketch page. TOUCH your objects and LOOK at your objects - document every detail. Use moleskin for these sketches.
Step 3 - Begin sculpting your (two) objects. Pay Attention to proportions and details.
Step 4 - Prepare sketches for three hybrid forms. Sketch in your moleskin.
Step 5 - Sculpt three hybrid forms.
Step 6 - Draw from life. Use hybrid forms as your subject matter. Three drawings - one for each hybrid. Impose a color scheme to each hybrid. Complete drawings in your moleskin book.
