repeated form

This experimental design workshop aims to explore three dimensional structures.We will consider the potential of repeated elements to create form using primary sources as inspiration. Students will explore materials and their characteristics as they relate to developing form. they will design and create a simple structure and take away ideas for further work including interpretation into fabric and thread.

Aims:

  • to use primary sources to elicit designs for three dimensional structures
  • to explore materials and their characteristics to develop form
  • to consider a range of repeated elements to create form

repeated elements are arranged in a circle to create a continuous image

Repeated strips with holes cut out

Strips of torn paper are repeated and laid with very little space between them.
