Sound Suits...crit May 18






















Assignment: Sound Suits




Schedule
Homework Due May 7: 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.

May 11: Sound Suit Studio Day

May 18: CRITIQUE/ flash mob? 


This is a big project. You will have two in-class work days 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.
