IDENTICAL + NESTING +MULTIPLES


Objective:  Build 3 identical  complex forms that can seat or fit into each other. 

You will be provided with a limited amount of Chip board, hot glue and tools to build your 3 objects. 

2 full class periods will be devoted to studio time to complete this project. ( You are encouraged to work outside of class also) 

THINK: What kinds of objects can you find at home that work in this manner?
What type of research can you do to help you along? ( gather images online ......visit a department store and observe products designed to stack and nest....etc ) Copy an existing object and reproduce it using chipboard?

What are the advantages of objects designed to be stacked?....how are they designed ?....are they simple forms?....complex ?   

DESIGN CONSTRAINTS:
1. Each object must measure at least 12 x12 x12 . ( use your material wisely ) 
2. every part of your sculpture must have volume or dimension.....no single sheets of cardboard!!
3. Your workouts have more than 1 plane ( no CONES!)
4. You must make 3 identical objects.

GRADES:
Projects will be graded on the following criteria:
1. level of finish ( how clean is your sculpture...clean lines, little or no evidence of glue,)
2. Are all 3 objects identical?
3. How well do the 3 objects fit together?

IMPORTANT DATES:
APRIL 21st : project introduction.
