'Communicating Visions in Black and White'.. sculpture

Yesterday we looked at different types of sculpture/ sculptured inspired.. objects/ buildings/ clothing..etc. I really enjoyed yesterday as it was a chance to design and make what i wanted to based on research and what i was inspired by. I looked at Issey Mikaye's work and his use of shapes, colour, folds and pleats which seemed rather.. sculpturesque! We had to use just white and black.. and use them to their advantage as they are contrasting and striking against each other. I chose to use paper as its looks effective when you fold it and stands straight, I personally find it more sculptural than the material. I made part of a dress which at the top had small squares stuck on and as t got lower the squares got bigger. The squares at the top also started off white, gradually adding black until fully black squares at the bottom. I wanted the squares to flick up at the tops and not be suck down so it looked more effective. I also folded a straight line down the card/paper on the corner so it looked more sculptured and futuristic. I don't think its worked as well as i'd of hoped as the white squares don't show up well against each other but on the other hand it may be because it's just quarter of a dress..! I may make more on monday when we have time to finish it and hopefully will look better. We also have to do a presentation on it which i'm a bit nervous about because i'm sooo so so rubbish at that kind of thing.. ooh and i also enjoyed looking at what other people had made..everyones was so different but really interesting and everyones looked really good :)
