Hybrid Sculpture: crit 9/28

Hybrid Sculpture

You will change two objects of your choice into something new by creatively dismantling and recombining the pieces. You must reuse ALL of the material in your existing objects, and combine them into a single unified work. This is not a collage (objects attached to a flat surface). We want you to physically join the parts of these objects together and create a new 3-D object.
Important concept:  unity = a sense of order or completeness

SCHEDULE
September 21: Bring to class: two objects not bigger than 12" that you feel comfortable changing. Begin to disassemble your objects at home and bring ALL of the pieces to class. NO ELECTRONICS
Any other supplies you would like to use while altering your object, such as glue, tape, sewing supplies, etc.
September 28: Finished project due. Critique day.
