Project 2: Hybrid Sculpture. Due September 26th

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

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

Work Day- September 19th

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

Note: Any other supplies you would like to use while altering your object, such as glue, tape, sewing supplies, etc.

Project Due- SEPT 26th. 

Projects is due at beginning of class for critique. All projects must be ready for presentation at start of class.

How do objects communicate meaning? How does meaning change when they are re-contextualized and merged into a single form?
