ACAD310 - Timeless

[calzephyr]

Here's my first project for ACAD310, my only studio class this semester. Yesterday's critiques went well. It was very dense and after a while, people were starting to get tired. Three hours of examining, questioning and listening to art was exhausting. I'm glad I went first. My clock was well received and some of the questions revolved around the shapes and colours choices. I most talked about the construction. The clock is called Timeless since I no longer possess any sense of time, or at least time dictated by external forces.





Here are some more pictures of Timeless from different angles and times of day. Sometimes it looks blue, gold and silver. Other times it looks gold and green or purple. The shadows between the layers are really neat. Click through for the whole gallery.





There isn't a class next week as it is reading break. Our only homework is to finish a reading response and watch The Matrix. I think I'm the second oldest person in the class, so I'll try to avoid "Kids, let me tell you alllllll about the 90s." I hope I can convey how AWESOME this movie was at the time though!

Thanks :-) I'm still in love weeks later with this piece.

Ugh, I can't figure out how to use an X-acto knife either. I really don't know how other people do it. My secret is Cutter Bee scissors. They are super sharp. With enough paper cutting practice, you get used to cutting large areas with the crotch of the scissors and moving the paper instead of the scissors. Then snip snip snip snip with the tips for the edges and finer details.

I gotta look into getting those scissors!
