Project 1: Compound Shapes

Combine at least 2 of the basic shapes to form a compound shape. Play with the measurements, proportions, and scale to come up 3 variations on that shape. This form(s) should be the central focus of the piece(s). The overall design is up to you, I recommend working with the maquettes to determine what you want to make.

Skills I want you to focus on and use in this piece are: fitting shapes together at angles or on curves, soldering skills, creation of the compound form.

Think about proportions and overall size.

Sketch 5 different ideas on compound shapes and pieces, 3 proportional variations on each. Make a maquette of your top shape idea. Sketch out and demonstrate how/if the pieces will connect and be integrated into the piece.
