Cardboard Progress Report

I am making a cow bone replica out of cardboard and this is my current progress. As you can see my strategy is glueing cardboard together into a block and then carving and sculpting the object out of that block. Lets see how far i make it before i lose a finger.

We were instructed to take photographs of our environment showing pattern, rhythm, texture, translation, reflection etc. These are my top 8 favorite ones.

translation/reflection:  progressive

Dot Compositions

With our creativity tied to a short range of black dots and a piece of paper, we created compositions that showed action, movement, or even just position. We then matched this with a real life replicated composition consisting of people's bodies. Sounded easy enough but getting everyones cooperation was a tough task in itself. Then matching the dots exactly was the most difficult part about it. Soon enough I figured out how to adjust my angle and frame and eventually got it to work...for the most part.
