Landscape
A
scene I saw once in 2012 in the autumn of Bavarian
An
object
A crystal
ball with a home inside
A
person
Thomas
Mann, whose concepts about aesthetic once had a great impact on me

Sculpturer
“I remember the moving through the
landscape with my father in his car, and the hills were sculptures. The roads
defined the forms. There was the sensation of moving physically over the
fullness of the moor and through the hollows and slopes of peaks and dales,
feeling, seeing, touching, through the mind, the eye and the hand.
The touch and texture of things. Sculpture,
rock, myself and the landscape.
This sensation has never left me, the
sculpter, am the landscape.”
I am the landscape.
Try to find out some adjectives to describe
texture and textiles of the landscape. Try to touch them. Feel them. Use
memories to re-sculpt the landscape. Try to make yourself a part of the
landscape.
My
first piece of the landscape
culpture, rock, myself and the landscape.
This sensation has never left me, the
sculpter, am the landscape.”
I am the landscape.
Task 1. Try to find out some adjectives to
describe texture and textiles of the landscape. Try to touch them. Feel them.
Use memories to re-sculpt the landscape. Try to make yourself a part of the
landscape.
My first piece of the landscape: Soft, furry, grandiose, fresh
Task 2. Repeat the first step. Make an
object.
A toy of a wooden house. Rough, small, cozy, idyllic
Task
3. Put the photo of the person in front of yourself. Make a 3d version
according to this 2d photo.
Task 4：Make a copy of the
3d version of the person above.
Task 5:Draw the sculptures you have made. Think
about the perspective, angle，
texture, tone, color, shadow.
Redraw the sculpture in order to explore
the visual possibilities based on my own artwork.
An example： Henry Moore
We have finished a procedure of turning our
2D photos into 3d sculptures and into 2d again. We have already distanced our
creations from the original photos to our own drawings
Task
6: Color the sculpture according to the drawings
Task
7: Make a partner for you person
A
MAN YOUNGER THAN THE ORIGINAL PERSON WITH A PIPE IN HIS MOUTH
Task 7.
Make a product out of one of the artworks you have just made.
I
made it into a container that people can put some small stuffs into.
The
container is the big belly of this indoor writer with his hand surrounding this
belly to convey a sense of humour.
Task 10. Take a selfie with your artworks!
The relationship between artworks and artists can be very subtle. Sometimes
what we drew could be like us. Photos can be records of these sort of
relationships.
E.g. Barbara Hepworth
So my photo
He disliked me！
All back into 2d again!
It gave us an opportunity to experience a
breakthrough of our ways of thinking to transfer concrete 2d images into 3d
stuffs and then again into more abstract 2d drawings again.
