3DD- sculpture building

For this task we had to glue spaghetti together using a glue gun, to produce a sculpture which holds 3 balls. For my development, I drew various ideas on how to hold 3 balls in different corners without them touching; I felt this helped me gain an insight on how to build my structure. Furthermore, we carried out quick drawing exercises which helped with our drawing techniques, and how to create abstract pieces. I felt that I was free to express myself by drawing with different techniques such as continuous line. The drawing I created with my eyes closed came out to be quite successful as I was able to place 3 balls in different areas which could be held without falling.

I began to build my sculpture in a triangular way; I felt that this was the best way to start building it, as the spaghetti would firmly hold together.

As I began to build the sculpture, I thought about the structure, and how the balls were going to sit in between the spaghetti. I did have difficulty at times when trying to glue the pieces together, as they'd fall apart, then i'd have to glue them back together. 

This is the completed sculpture. It turned out to be a successful piece, as it was able to hold 3 balls, and the spaghetti held together. I placed a small figure of a person on the sculpture to get an idea of the scale of it.   

I took another image with a small figure, from a low perspective. This gives the sculpture more height; I placed a light from an angle to give my sculpture a dramatic effect.

After accomplishing the first task, the second was to make our sculptures as tall as possible and to be able to hold a ball on the highest point. So I carried on building my piece until I got to the highest point possible. My piece seems very delicate as it has been built with a single line of spaghetti for each side. After building this, I was able hold 5 or more balls on it. I was proud of this piece because of the unusual structure, and it won for being the tallest. Placing the sculpture on a white background and floor made it more contrasting and effective to look at.
