I hope this little guy makes you grin. I get rather elated just looking at him.
Snails occupy a very special place in my heart.
No, I’m not weird – snails take me back to my first magical months in Europe at the age of ten. But now there’s a DOUBLE MEANING thanks to the shape of it’s shell! Get it, huh, huh? Some of you will.
Oh, and the ideas I gave up in favor of the snail? A chair, and a globe. I really was going to do the globe. But this has turned out to be so much better. Personal, but without the TCK cliché!
Ok, now on to an actual explanation of the assignment. This is our project related to Line in the class called Fundamentals of Design. It’s extremely cool that we are taking a typically 2D element, line, and giving it a 3D application. THEN we bring it back into two dimensions with a drawing from observation. Can you tell our professor is a sculptor?
The sketch is awesome…I thoght it was some sort of “3D Scan”!
So does Jane know she’s left her camera in your hands?!
Now I can see that you need to take my guitar strings back with you…save you a bundle on “wire sculpture” supplies!
How did you even know where to start?? Wow!
Try to keep up, Dad – that isn’t Jane’s camera! 🙂
I have 170-something feet of that awesome wire left!
And Mom: exactly… it was one of those “jump in and try it” assignments. I actually love working that way, and seeing each step revealed as I go along! I started with the face, and did the shell last (though I pretty knew from the beginning how I was going to construct the spiral).
Looks like a great addition to your room!
The school’s camera?
Great sculpture, Rachel! And since I was just telling you about my project on Fibonacci sequence, this is a great example! The Divine spiral is demonstrated in the Creator’s design of den Schneck.
Keep on creating, Rachel!
