Experimentation with creating and visualization of organic form

Today I started my first experiments consisting in visualizing and creating an organic form from a 2D drawing. 




With the help and guidance of my tutor, I started by drawing the shapes of my sea creatures by holding a pencil on a long stick.


 Later, looking at the form, I had to transfer the pattern to cardboard or cardboard and cut it out. Then create an organic form from it, a very simple sculpture that was meant to show me how I could work with shape.



This exercise helps me visualize the shapes and form needed for my project. When I took a closer look at what came out in the end, I realized that visually it reminded me of an abstract octopus. On the other hand, I like how this exercise influences my perception of art from a different perspective. I see an octopus and my task as an artist is to reflect the intended effect so that the recipient sees the same. Although in art each recipient has a different perception and interpretation of what he sees...



Here you can see a short video of the drawing process... :)

  1. Drawings are really effective - this is an immediate and intuitive way to work - the more you do this, the better your outcomes will be. The cardboard cut outs work really well as 'maquettes' or prototypes - combine these with the drawings you made in the Primary Research plan. This is looking very positive.
