Week 4 - Surface

  Our task was to create 16 squares of different surfaces (4 from each material) and we were given only 4 materials to choose from. I chose gum tape, tissue paper, brown paper with paint on it and string. I also used a cutting knife and board to create negative space in the square given. Afterwards to pick 12 of the 16 you created and combine to make 6, then the 6 combined into 3 then the 3 you created to combine to 3 large scale pieces.

All 16 samples.

12 of the 16 samples I've chosen.

6 from the 12 combined samples.

3 from the 6 combined samples.

1st of the 3 larger scale pieces.

2nd of the 3 larger scale pieces.

3rd of the 3 larger scale pieces.

  Easy? - I found the cutting and sticking process fairly easy and making them simplistic made it easier for me to merge each square with one another.

  Difficult? - to keep concentrating on getting 25 individual squares completed and to make 3 large scale ones done with the time given.

  I have enjoyed today even though I did feel this exercise is quite simple and easy for me but it was good to think creatively how to merge each material with each other and to create interesting patterns.
