Due Date: Friday, February 23rd 


For this project you will work exclusively with materials that occur naturally. You will have to collect AT LEAST 100 of the same type of item for this project and figure out how to join those items together to make a sculpture- without using hot glue, screws, or artificial materials. 

Material suggestions: Palm fronds, driftwood, long grasses, tree pods, anything interesting that you can access a lot of. 

Possible solutions for joining: Weaving, braiding, sewing, tying, bending or whatever technique you come up with to make an object out of separate natural materials.

At home and during the in-class workday you will try different techniques of arranging or joining your objects together to make one unified form.


Size Requirement: The sculpture must be 3 feet long in at least one dimension.
