Using inspiration from Joan Miro’s drawings, paintings, ceramics and other sculptures, we began creating designs and prototypes for our very own sculptures.

 

We first considered where our sculpture would be stood so we had an idea of space and height. We then made some annotated drawing designs to capture some possible ideas. 
 

Using strong pieces of card, we then experimented with how we would connect different parts in our sculpture so the pieces could be deconstructed / constructed easily but still stand proud. We explored different folds and different ways of connecting shapes and pieces with cuts and slots.

After evaluating and reflecting on our experimentations, it became clear that some of our designs needed to be altered slightly as part of the process to ensure it is fit for purpose! It was very exciting to see many structures free-standing! 

We are looking forward to developing our ideas and creating our final piece!
