On Tuesday (March 26th) bring in early drafts of your photos of the Modular Form in Context Phase 2. These may be (in order of preference):
- Images posted to the "Modular Form Part 2 DRAFT IMAGES" folder in the "IPC" folder in the "classes" folder on Dali (the Lab Server)
- as printed images
- images on a USB drive
- clear detailed sketches
In addition, use the information we discussed in lecture today to develop your own projects. What would you fill in for A, B and C in the formula we discussed? Give several versions for C (context). Write this information down as well as any other considerations you would like to workshop on Tuesday. If your Modular Form Phase 1object was unresolved, bring in the remade improved version. You may also bring in draft statements and title drafts.
Modular Form in Context Phase 2
Quick Summary
1. Write a statement of intent for your Modular Form In Context Project.
2. Continue to further develop and improve your Modular Form Object. Put your finished form/object in a context (environment/constructed backdrop) and photograph it. Use the compositional tools (points of control) from our Rapid Idea Sketching exercise to help you photograph your object in a manner that helps communicate your ideas/intention.
3. Create title(s) for each of your Modular Form in Context photographs. Print them and cut them out so that you can place them by the photo they reference. Cutting should be done so that your labels look professional and clean.
4. Print your photographs in a finished and professional manner. Use quality paper and print in color.
5. Write two questions to ask your critique group. Keep in mind that the purpose of these questions is to have your group focus on specific areas of your work. The scope and breadth of these questions may address whatever you choose including, but not limited to: changing, strengthening, adding to, and editing, the work you present in photographs.
6. Hand in your printed statement, 4 finished photographs with printed titles, and 2 printed questions on Thursday, March 28th at the beginning of class
Assignment 1 - Statement of Intent
c18_a1
Due: Thursday, March 28th, at the beginning of class
Format: as a typed printed document with the proper heading as outlined in the syllabus
• First, as plainly as possible, describe the topic and line of inquiry of your modular form project (in no more than three sentences).
• Second, list the readymade used to build the overall form and describe how it relates to your topic and direction.
• Next, list the overall object that the readymades form and describe how this 3D object relates to your topic and direction.
• Finally, describe the relevance of your chosen context(s) [environments, settings, backdrops, etc].
The purpose of a statement of intent is to articulate in writing what you are attempting to express (or have expressed) visually in your work. After writing a first draft, rewrite this statement until your references and intentions become clear and concise. Feel free to elaborate with elements from your research and personal experience.
Assignment 2 - Modular Form in Context (Images)
c18_a2
Due: Thursday, March 28th, at the beginning of class
Format: 4 printed photographs (see dimensions below and put your name on the back of each photo)
The final format of the Modular Form project is two-dimensional. The setting, surrounding, or context you choose should help clarify and develop the content of the work for the audience, reinforcing what your object of readymades communicates. You may use a field made of objects, a real life setting or scenario, material field, or a small-scale model to create a context or environment. Just be sure that the object you made remains a main character or focus of the photographic composition. Use the points of control learned in rapid idea sketching to guide the final output of this work. You are in control of what the audience views. Experiment using different perspectives and different contexts.
In an attempt to clearly communicate your message, you will need to make four photographs. After you have printed these four photos, pick the image you feel most strongly delivers your content. When you display the work in class place the strongest photo apart from the three other images. Be sure to print and cut out the title for each work and your name for each image presented. Likewise, write your name on the back of each photograph.
Most likely, color will play a part in delivering your message, the photos you submit should be printed in color unless you have good reason to print in black and white. Printed photos should be 8” x 10" format (unless you choose a different aspect ratio of similar overall size). If you decide to present the work using a mat, be sure the mat is cut straight and clean. Your images should to be printed on photo paper or high quality inkjet paper, not copier paper. Capture your images at a high enough resolution so that your prints do not appear pixelated.
Assignment 3 - Modular Form Titles
c18_a3
Due: Thursday, March 28th, at the beginning of class
Format: Print them and cut them out so that you can place them by the photo they reference.
Your Modular Form in Context photos need to have titles and your name. A title is an opportunity to create an additional layer of meaning, content, or context. Titles should compliment or be in contrast to the work you develop. It should not be obvious, redundant, or simply restate what the audience can easily figure out by viewing the work. Each title should also include your name like the example below:
Title
Your Name
Assignment 4 - Critique Questions
c18_a4
Due: Thursday, March 28th, at the beginning of class
Format: as a typed printed document with the proper heading as outlined in the syllabus
Develop two questions to ask the critique group. These questions should be direct and specific, addressing areas of the work that can either be more fully expanded or that need further resolution. The questions you develop should require responses beyond yes and no. Likewise, they should not be a ploy to convince your audience to agree with your point of view or opinion.
