Sound Suit Wearable Sculpture

This is a big project. You will have Spring Break to get started, and then two in-class work days. It will count for 2 grades (one for your project critique and one for being prepared & working in class). For this project, make a wearable sculpture that covers your whole body. Look at the Soundsuits for inspiration, but make the idea your own. Try to incorporate sound into your project. We will have a parade for the critique, so make sure you can see.  

Get to know sculptor Nick Cave from Chicago, and his Soundsuit series. Don't confuse the sculptor with the musician with the same name.

Schedule
Spring Break: Look at lots of pictures, videos, and articles about Nick Cave's Soundsuits. Get to know them really well. Make sketches for your wearable sculpture.
