Pattern and Ornament: Small Works- Circle, Square & Triangle (Part 3)

Final Small Works: "Pattern & Ornament"

Since the first step of this small works module was to copy the quill using drawing mediums, I wanted to explore with materials. I love crayons and markers but I really wanted to experiment and be creative. Of course there was an issue, the materials had to be accessible and cheap. That why I decided to used aluminum foil and clay to make these pieces possible.

The Process of the Square - Step 1 : Cover the board with aluminum foil

The Process Of the Square - Step 2 : Molding the Symbols with clay

I thought that even if the square, the circle and the triangle were separate geometric forms; I wanted to give them a sense of unity. For that reason I choose to used aluminum foil in the 3 pieces and used the green clay in the 3 forms to embrace that unity. 

My form base language was too abstract and they were a combination of symbols. In order to complete this assignment successfully I disintegrate these symbols to be able to used them.

For the square I used my symbols for freedom, union, generosity and travel.

For the circle I used my symbols for equality, artist, creativity and friendship.

For the triangle I used my symbols of personality, weirdness, over- think and beginning.
