Animated Surface Wall Sculpture

Animated Surface Wall Sculpture Due Date: End of Class, Friday, 9/25/15

Teaching Points:

 Forms can be created by aggregating small, discrete elements.  Installation art is art created for a specific location and is often temporary  Work of Eadweard Muybridge, Tara Donovan and Maya Lin  Vocabulary/Concepts: Aggregate, Discrete, Jig, Persistence of Vision  Students gain skills in paper cutting  Students gain organizational skill keeping frames in order

Rubric: 60 points

Technical Proficiency:

a. All cards and matte board are cut cleanly and evenly. b. Cards are reinforced with supports to keep cards stiff and vertical c. No visible pencil marks on the cut and mounted cards. d. Cards are mounted evenly on the matte board with a ½” border. e. Visual surface is created by changing the profile only slightly from its neighboring card. f. Name and period are written on a border.

Design Criteria:

a. Created surface has a lot of information and detail in each cross-section. b. Changes between cross-sections are sustained through enough cross- sections to create a sense of a form changing. c. Created surface transforms from first cross-section to last cross-section in a non-obvious way such as: i. Cross-sections change character, such as smooth curves transforming into hard edge, geometric lines. ii. Interior negative forms are created by changing negative shapes in cross-sections; e.g. bubbles rising to surface. d. Most or all of the design space is used Effort/Citizenship

a. Worked consistently every class period. b. Finished project by deadline. c. Created drawings with independent effort d. Engaged in constructive critique during one-on-one interactions with teacher. e. Student was respectful of self, other students, teacher, materials, and tools. f. Worked with other students to discover solutions to technical or design issues. g. Complete individual clean up on time. h. Cooperate with teacher and other students to clean up common areas or tools as well as “mystery” messes. i. Assist teacher in distributing tools and materials.
