My deconstruction is a traffic light and the colored circles and the lights the silver things are the pole that holds the traffic light and the yellow rectangle is the base where the lights go

For this sculpture, I used the deconstructive process and I deconstructed my face. Instead of having 2 eyes, I made the sculpture have 4 and I broke them into the shape of the eye whites and the iris. The eyes are also larger than regular eyes. The sculpture only has one ear and I added it to an irregular location for an ear to be. Additionally, the sculpture has 2 mouths and two pony tails placed in somewhat unusual positions. The main elements of art I used are form and color. Form was used to make the head, lips, eyes, and hair. Color was used throughout the sculpture on almost every shape and form. The two principles of art used were balance and texture. In order to balance the sculpture, I added a pony tail to the top and one to the bottom. I also tried to fill up the space on the front of the sculpture. I attempted to add texture to the hair by curling it around my finger. A new technique I learned and tried was using “L tabs” for attachment. During this class, the soft skills I learned and used most were adapting to requirements in my art and also working under time limits.

I themed it after megatron and Optimus prime’s colors and I added yellow and green because I like the colors and they represent my love for sunflowers and I used wire and cardboard to make it

Tornado

2025-10-22 19:25:41 UTC

My project used the formalistic version of making a tornado. I made shapes coming out of it and clouds to add texture

My project started off as a slide then I transformed into a flag pole monorail in new York I used 3d mottling and design to show the flag pole. Scoplsure is to show what is detailed about the flag pole. The base of the project is connected and all of the parts are showing what is all attached with the final 3D mottle

To make my project I used deconstruction and I deconstructed a hammer. Two elements of art I used were shape which I did to make cylinders and the base the other element I used was color where I used a mix of warm and cool colors. One of the principles of deign I used was pattern and I repeated the cylinder shape the other principle I used was emphasis making the floating part obviously floating but also a mix of cool and warm colored that are different than the orange and purple. A soft skill I used was changing it to stay balanced by adding the wire at the bottom to connect the sculpture to the base another soft skill I used was time management where I planned out how to use my time to make each part of the sculpture using some days to make the form of the sculpture and the other to color and stabilize it.

Hexagon project

2025-10-22 19:32:07 UTC

For my sculpture, I used paint, cardboard, hot glue, and string. My sculpture is formalistic so I sketched random shapes and made them into something. I used color, and shape as my top two elements of art. I colored the the hexagons and shapes, and cut out shapes. I used patterns by refusing the hexagons and I used emphasis by painting the bottom shapes black and white. Technique that was beneficial was knowing what formalistic meant. Two soft skills that helped through this class was teamwork and communication. Teamwork helped by other people helping you when you need it and communication is asking her you need help understanding.

For this sculpture i used deconstructive for this process in my sculpture I decided to combine all these fun shapes from a house and re place them in interesting places where it shouldn’t be placed. I used various colors to make it look abstract and colorful. I thought of deconstructing a house because it’s an everyday living thing we all stay in. I just thought this project would be cool and fun to do. The top three elements I decided to choose were form, color and shape. A technique I found beneficial were the L tabs they helped me thought the process and helped stick all together I really liked using this technique. On one of my roofs I sewed it up and the other I didn’t it shows the differences between a sewed up one and a non sewed up one.

🦞Abstract Beehive Sculpture🦞

15122_104 — 2025-10-22 19:33:11 UTC

I used deconstruction for this sculpture, taking a beehive and changing around its parts. I used Form and Space, along with (trying) symmetry and emphasis. making multiple different forms and drawing the emphasis towards the bottom where it isn't as symmetrical. i learned how to use acrylic paint during this. i also used adaptability changing my design on the fly and having to work on the hexagons!

I used the formalistic process while creating my sculpture and decided to use many different shapes and forms. I struggled to find the right colors but eventually decided on doing a random color set instead of blending like colors together. Some of the forms include a cross a circle with a shield around it and rectangles hanging from the cross.

I used mainly cardboard to create an abstract sculpture. At the beginning I only had the blue part and the yellow part. But then I continued to add more to it. This formalism project was mainly taking shapes and turning them into an abstract structure hanging on a string. The 2 elements of art used in my sculpture are shapes and color. I used different shapes to create a more abstract style. I used primary colors and green because I thought they looked cool with the shapes. The principles of design used in my sculpture are movement, repetition (of shapes), and color. I learned how to sew using the thread on the base of the project. Two soft skills that helped me most through this class are communication and time management.

For my project I chose a formalistic idea within my sculpture. I also chose to use different sizes of a triangle for my repeating shape to bring together these extravagant shapes which are two dimensional. I created forms by leaving open spaces within my shapes of the triangles in different areas. The top elements used in my sculpture are form and color I used form by using repeating shapes in a geometric form. I used color by the repetition of gold and blue. The two principles of art I used were repeating pattern of prisms and balance because the wood is holding up the prisms and the sticks are holding it together as well. A technique I found beneficial was using the sticks to help hold my project together. And the two soft skills that helped throughout my final sculpture were concentration and critical thinking throughout this to come up with cool ideas.

I used cardboard to create my abstract sculcpchure. I started by carving the cardboard then making the shapes. Then I painted and added texture. Then i strung it and hung it. I like the colors and how they work together.

This project is deconstruction because it’s taking something from real life and changing the way it is, I did this by using a stingray and keeping the shape the same but not the look the bottom consist of random shapes and thing hanging down changing its look from the bottom. I used color and shape for this sculpture. I used color with paint and shape with my abstract work on the bottom and the shape of the stingray itself. I used texture and pattern I used both of these with my white splattered dots on my stingray. Balance to properly lift and til the body of the stingray to properly display it. Time management and cominucation with my peers and instructed taking suggestions and asking for help.

Happy birthday

2025-10-23 18:23:53 UTC

My project started as a birthday cake I then cut it in half its 3 layers I deconstructed it and turned into this. I used molding paste for the bottom layer, I used wax thread for the sewing I used rolled up cardboard to make the posts for layers.
