Your next project will be to use Joseph Cornell’s work as inspiration for your work. You will be making a box, using ideas, memories, fantasies, dreams as a subject matter within the box.  Surface, form, texture and light will be important as you explore the interior of the box.

1. View work of Joseph Cornell on link. Pay attention to tab with boxes and gallery there.

2.Think of a memory, event, idea, dream, that you have had during our quarantine that you will display in your box. You may want to create a “scene” or just have meaningful objects thoughtfully placed within the space. The space within the box should be primarily filled, with little negative space.

3. Create a box with cardboard, tape, glue, or find a box at home that you can use. Exterior should be covered or painted if it is a repurposed box. Be mindful about the size, remembering that you must use most of the space within. 

4. Create a scene or mindfully place object within the space to tell a personal story about your time at home during quarantine. This could also be a story of loss: loss of time with friends, class, end of year events, etc. 

5. Adhere everything in place. Make sure that you pay attention not only to inside of box, but outside, as well.

6. Post good quality work on Classroom, 2 views. 

I just realized this didn’t get posted into the sculpture class but instead onto just the regular Tumblr.
