HW1 Space

Space 


Inside this slide, children slip through and enjoy the round, curving cylinder of space.  Between the light and dark variation of values and the rings that shrink in perspective, this image defines the abstract idea of the area.  While space is a difficult notion to grasp when creating sculptures, this object of playground equipment successfully defines the concept.

Economy


The idea with economy is to use only the amount of material that is absolutely necessary.  This small clay pitcher was pinched at the top so that forming a handle for pouring would not waste extra clay.  By using less material, the potter created an efficient form with successful function and less wasted clay.
