Critique Criteria

You will be turning in a full-sized human bust, an animal, or larger than life plant or insect constructed using aluminum flashing, and cold connections such as pop-rivets, tabs, screws, clips, hammered rivets, grommets, or brads.

DUE at the start of class on the specified date given in class.

Criteria

  1. The sculpture must be three dimensional. Volume can be created or implied through use of planar elements, line, shadow, light, and negative space. This means it should be fully in-the-round with visual interest from all angles. Wall hung pieces are the only exception, since those may have a back side where they are against the wall. However, they must still be volumetric.
  2. It may be free standing and completely capable of supporting all parts of itself, mounted in a secure and attractive manner to a base that compliments the overall aesthetic of the piece, or affixed to a wall with a secure method for hanging it.
  3. The attachment methods (whether they are rivets or otherwise) are an aesthetic component that must be deliberately incorporated into the overall design.
