David Smith's sculpture Big Diamond.
Examples of abstract sculptures made with cardboard, paper, and different types of paint.
For this project you will be building an abstract sculpture similar to the images above. You can work by yourself or in with 1 other person. Read the requirements below:
Your sculptures should have the following:
A height between 12" to 18". If you're working with another person the minimum height is 20".
Color - your pieces should be painted, and there should be a reason behind the colors you choose. Use contrasting colors like warm and cool colors or complementary colors.
Balance - your sculpture should have visual balance, and be viewable from all sides.
Neatness - the edges of your paper and cardboard should be cut neatly. There shouldn't be glue dripping down and painted pieces should be fully painted.
