Today:
Pinup assignment 06: invent musical instruments
Discuss musical instrument research
Any musical instruments brought in?
Assignment 07: musical structures (take one)
due: Mon 01/31/05 beginning of studio
Construct 8 collage studies applied to your articulated diagram.
Must reinforce, interact, and have a conversation with the underlying articulated diagram.
Continue to invent “new” instruments/mechanisms/crystals/nuggets/parts.
Can use some of the previous instrument studies to start.
Use diagrams, photos from any of the musical instruments archive.
format: 11 x 17 sheet (use HP 8150 laser or your own inkjet)
media: rasterize your articulated diagram in photoshop; using layers build your collage.
resolution: 150 – 200 ppi grayscale (might be higher for inkjet; test it) download test file
Other thoughts:
repetition and variation
contrast (dark vs. Light)
plug-in parts (avoid using whole instruments)
interlocking and ironic combinations
proportioning
using perspective vs. orthogonalized
