This is a big project. You will have two in-class work days and one week out of class to complete it. 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 artist Nick Cave's 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
Due April 15: 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, and bring materials that you want to work with to class.
April 29: You should spend a lot of time on your project during the week off (no class on the 22nd) before the second in-class work day. Come with your materials, ideas, any special tools you'll need, and your partially completed project. Being prepared and working in class count toward your grade.
May 6: CRITIQUE
