The Assignment- This project is called Make 100. Students were asked to design simple three dimensional modules out of bristol board (above are a few examples I made), produce a prototype of one of the ideas, and once worked out, create 100 identical modules. The completed modules are to be turned into a piece of sculpture. The project specifics-
The 100 modules should be more or less identical.
At least one side should be 1.5" long, but no sides can exceed 1.5"
They should be three dimensional, having height, length, and depth.
They should be stable, strong enough to support their own weight.
Once you have completed the 100 modules, you will use them to create a sculptural work. Account for all three dimensions in your design, and glue it together to make the shape permanent. It can be a freestanding object, or you may attach it to some kind of base (such as foam core or mat board). Your design can make use of regular patterns, or just be seemingly random groupings of the modules. In grading the completed sculpture, I'll be verifying that it contains 100 modules and that it is a stable construction, and consider how it deals with all three dimensions and multiple viewpoints. The complexity of the modules and the final piece will also be accounted for in the grade.
Below are a few examples of projects from a previous semester using a variety of types of modules.
