Project Two:Storytelling

Project Two:  Storytelling

Description:

              For this project we will separate into four groups of four/five people.  This project will also include a 4D element in the form of video.  Your team will discuss and decide on a story you would like to depict.  The story should be something well known like a fairytale, a fable, a poem or book.  Then, you will construct a series of forms that will be characters in a short stop-motion film that depicts an event/events from the story or fairytale you have chosen.  The main characters should be non-representational forms, i.e-shapes, but you can use representational props and settings.  The video must be at least 30 seconds in length.

Drawings:

            Once you have decided on a story you should begin drawing and sketching ideas for the forms you will need to create.  Have a series of drawings ready by Monday so we can talk about how you might construct the forms.

Objectives:

            To continue working with the elements and principles of design and gain knowledge in communicating a message to a viewer.  To learn the benefits of incorporating different media, such as video, into your sculpture.  Also, to stimulate creative thinking through storytelling.
