Student Commentary
Briefly define the nature of your concentration project.
The nature of my concentration came to me when I was thinking of what my concentration should be. I began to build a frame into which slowly grew a symmetrical design. Soon, what started off as a basic idea with piece 1 progressed gradually through mathematical precision and a creative mind, ending at piece 12. My concentration I call "Spatial Conceptual Art."
Briefly describe the development of your concentration project and the sources of your ideas. You may refer to specific slides as examples.
I wanted progression from basic to complex. Pieces 1-4 were basic shapes on top of basic bases. They are only basic compared to other pieces. Compared to anything else, they are anything but simple. Next, in pieces 5-10, I wanted to progress my design into using other materials such as mesh, copper mesh, adhesive plastic with holes and more. I used this to add detail and interesting designs. I also used a variety of colors to add bright colors to some -- such as pieces 6, 9, and 10 -- and deep colors to others -- such as pieces 7 and 8. In pieces 11 and 12, I wanted to end by using colors, creative designs, and also, most importantly, incorporating my first piece into my last using graphical photocopies of it. Adding all these together allowed me to end in the way I wanted to, a way to have my last and first piece tie everything together.
What medium or media did you use?
For my projects, I mostly used wood but of all different sizes and shapes. I also incorporated mesh sheets, copper mesh, adhesive plastic with holes, and graphical photocopies.
