ASSIGNMENT:
Utilize the concepts of hybridity to construct three, small scale sculptures.
OBJECTIVE:
Provide an opportunity for the student to observe from life using sight and touch. Use the observation portion of the assignment to serve as a source for conceptual development.
MATERIALS:
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
Step 1:
Read and complete outline for "Touch". See below, Research Part I.
Step 2:
Find inspiration. See below, Research Part II
Step 3:
Go on a nature walk. Collect as many objects from nature as you can. Do not collect trash.
Step 4:
Scavenger your house for fabricated objects that would be suitable to make paper molds. Objects should be about the size of your hand.
Step 5:
Bring your loot to class. Each table is a group - so spread out your stuff on the table. We are sharing our loot. If there is a particular object(s) you wish to covet yourself, make sure to keep it separate from the group pile.
Step 6:
Select at least four objects from the fabricated objects pile and four from the nature pile.
Step 7:
Complete a color swatch for each object. Use inks and/or pastels. Paint and colored pencil are additional options. See below, Research Part III.
Step 8:
Make paper sculptures of all eight objects. Employ mold making when necessary.
Step 9:
Present and discuss inspiration images and color swatches to class.
Step 10:
Once sculptures are complete, cut up and reassemble to create three, separate sculptures. Incorporate the use of color.

Provide an opportunity for the student to observe from life using sight and touch. Use the observation portion of the assignment to serve as a source for conceptual development.
MATERIALS:
- White copy paper and/or left over white BFK Rives paper.
- Gesso (brushes and cup for water)
- Mask Tape and/or clear packing tape
- Sewing with needle and thread is an option for this assignment.
- Scissors, Exacto knife
- Winsor Newton Ink Set
- Colored set of basic pastels
- Small scale, fabricated objects. We will be making paper molds of the objects.
- A collection of objects from nature. We will be making paper molds of the objects.

RESEARCH, Part I:
- Complete an outline for the reading handout "Touch". A chapter from the book "A Natural History of the Senses" by Diane Ackerman. A PDF of the reading is posted on LMS. Please be aware that any marks/notes in the scanned copy are not mine. I checked the book out of the Flagler library to scan.
RESEARCH, Part II:
RESEARCH, Part III:
- Find at least three artist's whose work inspires you for this assignment.
- Search the right column under "Paper Hybrids Research", "Paper Hybrids Student Work", "Paper Sculpture Research" and any other category you feel is useful.
- Print out images and bring to class. Option - you can bring your laptop to class to present images.
- Site all sources and clearly label each piece of research accordingly. For example, "Paper Hybrids Inspiration 1 of 3".
- Complete a color swatch for each object.
- Observe color from life.
- Use white paper, approx. 8.5 x 11.
- One swatch per piece of paper.
- Label all colors.
- Clearly site the object you were observing.
The following information is required for the Digital Journey Assignment:
- Photographs
- At least one in process photo.
- Professional photo's of the final solution. Photograph all three together as well as individually.
- Research (particular to each assignment)
- Research Part I, Color Swatches.
- Research Part II, Outline for "Touch"
- Research Part III, Inspiration Images.
- Photographs of any sketches you did for the assignment are optional.
- Artist Statement
- Writing must demonstrate collegiate writing skills. Writing demonstrates time and effort. Writing demonstrates content, reflective thought and intellect. Writing is free of grammar, punctuation and spelling errors.
