1. Plastic Assignment: Above & Beyond
3D Design

2. Assignment:
  You will construct a hanging sculpture of transformed recycled plastics. You will use color for emphasis in translucent and/or transparent plastics connected mechanically.  
STUDENT WORKS

3. Types of Plastics to use:
Soda
Water
Milk
Juice bottles
Plastic cups
Tupperware/Take out containers
Old plastic folders/binder dividers
Packaging material
AVOID P.E.T(crinkly plastics)!!

4. Preparing Plastics:
CLEAN ALL RECYCLED PLASTICS YOU COLLECT!
Use HOT water to remove most labels and adhesives.
“Goof-off:” Use this product to remove labels and adhesives that will not come off with hot water.

5. Dying Plastics:
One brand will dye the plastics successfully. “I-DYE POLY”
PROVIDED IN CLASS

6. NO GLUE! Attachment Methods:
Hole punch, drill, hot knife, or something to put small hole in plastic. Appropriate device to connect plastic units – we will provide rivet guns and grommet tool in the studio – you are expected to provide your own rivets/grommets if you choose to use them.
NO GLUE!

7. Visual Flow:
Moves the eye.

SHAPES THAT POINT

9. GEOMETRIC OR ORGANIC?
Geometric Organic

10. EXAMPLE: GEOMETRIC >Perfect circles >Rectangular shape
STUDENT WORK

11. EXAMPLE: ORGANIC >Free form >Visually suggest the natural world

Location(near center)
Converging lines
Directional contrast
Value contrast

STUDENT WORK

13. Color Scheme:
Color scheme is analogous with split compliment

14. Harmony: Repetition with variation. Repeated material Varied sizes
