Homework #1

Volume is an enclosed area of three-dimensional space.  This woven cedar basket holds volume.  It has a narrow rectangular opening and holds its shape due to the tightly interwoven long rectangular strips of cedar bark.  It is a more intimate volumetric shape meant for small items.
Mass is a solid three-dimensional form.  This stack of parking blocks creates an interesting massive design.  The parking block on the far left is teetering on the edge. The placement of the small mass of rebar wired together on the far right, bring the piece into balance.  This piece has strong vertical and horizontal lines and triangles created by the stacking of the individual blocks.
