Floating Architecture

Floating Architecture Materials used: Cardboard, ink, gestapo. Dimensions: 3ft x 4ft For this assignment, we had to choose two architecture styles to create a sculpture. I based my sculpture off of the Neo-Gothic and Classical styles. Choosing Neo-gothic, I wanted to choose a dark themed style since I wanted to play around with the eerie vibe. As well as the structured focal points. I chose classical because growing up I loved greek mythologies and classical structures are in Greece. I wanted to experiment with domes and columns.   Research:   https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ancient-art-civilizations/greek-art/beginners-guide-greece/a/introduction-to-greek-architecture https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-neo-gothic-architecture-buildings/reference   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_Revival_architecture

How raw and unfiltered it feels. The grabbing of the heart symbolizes the physical aspects of pain by...

"The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale."- Susan Stewart While walking the shoreline, I noticed how vast the ocean is compared to myself. It really blows my mind at how small humans are to earth's natural elements. I chose this image for this sentence because without experiencing in person how massive the ocean really is compared to my body I wouldn't of gained an understanding of how small humans really are in the world. "Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experience."- Susan Stewart I chose this image for this sentence because to me when I graduated community college my diploma held such a high/capacity for me at the time. The journey to receiving this diploma was such an experience, from dual enrolling at the age of sixteen to finally graduating at the age of nineteen was such an accomplishing thing for me. This diploma is much more than a piece of paper, its a paper full of accomplishing memories and expe...
