Ephemeral

Project outline

Project VI

Ephemeral

This project is a site specific ephemeral sculpture to be developed in class and then realised on site in one day. Ephemeral sculpture is a very contemporary genre and offers a completely different experience to the learner, in regards to conceiving a work, and then actually going onsite to creat it in a given time frame.

Your work should have relevance to the site that gives emphasis to the concept and must be completed on the same day- yet to be determined.

Site; your choosing

Materials; will be gathered onsite. You may choose to bring ONE(1) other material, but there needs to be a solid reason to include it and this needs to be discussed with your teacher.

Scale; open;as is appropriate

Technique; Variable. Will be determined by the chosen materials.

There should be a clear dialogue between the innate qualities of the materials and their relationship to notions of texture , mass, density and scale.

There will be coverage of ideas and group discussions in class prior to the day and this is an opportunity for you to work out your ideas. This should be documented in your visual diary. Research will be self managed. Artist to look at include
