Shrouded Figure

Term: 3 Year: 2012

DESIGN BRIEF:

Your design brief is to design and create a representation of a shrouded figure such as the figure in Edvard Munch’s The Scream, a biblical figure shrouded in muslin, or even a modern Jedi warrior. Your sculpture will be made from a styrene foam base,armature wire, and muslin and will stand on a wooden base. The sculpture may be left white, dyed, or painted in one colour when complete.

WHAT TO DO:

Paste this Design Brief in your Visual Diary and create a Heading “Unit 3”

Wire and muslin Sculpture:

Paste in the Rubric and your research sheets.
Experiment with at least 6 Designs. Divide your page into 6 sections and draw one design in each section.
Select your most successful design, or combine successful features from several designs and create a final design drawing of your sculpture. This must be shaded and mounted on black paper.
Construct your l sculpture, using the styrene base, wire, a styrene ball and strips of muslin dipped in a PVA solution. When complete and dry your sculpture will be ready for painting.
This Unit will be complete when you have completed the design component, the sculpture, a Self-Evaluation Sheet and a Metacognition Sheet in your Visual Diary.
