Einav's Blog

Aloha!

Einav is now online: תן חיוך - הכל לטובה ! :)
Check her out...

PS
Someone was very pissed off at us for not commenting on their work last lesson so I would like to clarify:

Do not assume that if we do not comment on your work it is for personal reasons.

We will sometimes not have the time to comment on all the projects - projects that are similar to projects that we have already discussed will probably not be commented on in order to save time and avoid repetition.

In any case I strongly urge you not to walk around feeling unhappy - let us know as soon as you feel that you have been offended and we can work it out and save everyone the grief.

YouTube - Toccata and Fugue in D minor

This is a prime example of how excellent composition transcends medium.

YouTube - Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Exercise 5 = 2.5D

ויאמר אלוהים, ייקוו המים מתחת השמיים אל-מקום אחד, ותיראה, היבשה; ויהי-כן. י ויקרא אלוהים ליבשה ארץ, ולמקוה המים קרא ימים; וירא אלוהים, כי-טוב...

The third day of creation signifies the transition from creation through divination to creation in its own right. On the third day God brings forth land out of the waters and grows the grass. We will signify this special third day with a transition out of the flat and into the wonderful realm of relief.

Relief - This method of sculpting entails raising the portrayed image above the flat background surface slightly without achieving full 3D complexity.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Requirements
  • Create a Relief based on either your Shape-Stain-Line or Circle-Triangle-Square black and white composition.

  • The Final Relief should be black and white and the size of your format should be 40*40 – 70*70 cm.

  • You are required to hang both the original work and the sketches for the Relief in class.

Notes
  1. Plan ahead what areas will be raised and what areas will lowered – what is your logic for deciding elevation?
  2. Make a number of small tests for the materials you are using.
Good Luck!!!
