Using textiles, create a soft version of an everyday object that is normally hard. Work from an existing object, choose an object that has interesting contours.
Homework for next week 9/20:
1. Collect materials you will use and bring them to class. You will need fabric (any kind, thick or thin, old or new), stuffing (old pillow, packing peanuts, crumpled newspaper, shredded paper), needles and thread.
2. Detailed drawings of the object you will create. Study and draw all sides of the object. Think about the planes and contours that make up the form.
Come prepared to work. You will have two in-class work days, and will be graded on preparedness, time management and class participation as well as your final project.
