week 5

This week I have learnt about the structure of the line. To better understand, I found some information on three-dimensional constitute.

Dimensional constitute constitute the basis of modern art and design.The three-dimensional structure of the line is the decision-length feature material entity, usually call this material for the wire. Become a line of three-dimensional the linear materials constitute the three-dimensional morphology. Hard wire and soft wire can be divided into different wire material strength. In life, common hard wire: strips of wood, metal, plastic, glass, etc.; soft wire: wool, cotton, silk, hemp, and chemical fiber cord and softer wire.The three-dimensional composition is a study of three-dimensional form in three-dimensional space, three-dimensional modeling elements in accordance with certain principles combined into individualized beauty disciplines.The stereo constitute study and explore the relationship between the actual space and body.

This week i have made a art work by used newspapers. I have used simple lines to form a three-dimensional vehicle, this is my original idea. To do a simple framework, it is very easy for me. I want to  the line to form a three-dimensional space, because the line was originally one of the important component elements in the painting, If we can use the line of stitching and structures constitute a surface effect my purpose. I curled the newspaper folded . Then made ​​a straight line. First spliced ​​into a simple framework, then in the modification of the internal structure.The entire work is all by way of the line performance. I completed the car. The entire production process is very complex, but it is very interesting.Then I painted the three large paper about this car. Through three different ways, the first one is directly with the ink line to draw the contour and structure of the car. The second is to use the ink to draw the overall shape of the car and then draw with chalk line in the internal architecture of the car. Finally, I chose to ink and chalk one, hanging to the wall. Learning through this week, I can better understand and reference line, the line has played a big role in the whole works. I can better understand and reference line

Gavin Worth

The man himself is a talented visual artist, designer, and sculptor well known for his original bendable wire and cut out paper creations. He was born in Zimbabwe, grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and is currently teaching at the American International School of Cairo, Egypt.  Worth also lived in San Francisco for 8 years where he started his artistic trajectory working as an actor and musician for the Santa Fe Shakespeare Festival, the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival and the California Shakespeare Theater. Despite his successful career, Gavin Worth soon realized that Shakespeare was not his real passion. He confesses that he had always felt a great fascination for drawing, painting and sculpture since he first saw Michelangelo's 'Head of Leda' in a book in the library. Nevertheless, it was not until he visited an Alexander Calder exhibit at the SFMOMA that he became particularly interested in wire sculptures.
As Gavin Worth points out, almost from the beginning he toyed with the idea of creating a 3-D effect using bendable wire. As he knew right away that he didn't want to create a very realistic depiction of a 3-D form, he thought that it would be perhaps more interesting to create an abstract, almost organic shape made of grouped wire that would become an image when viewed from the right angle. In this way, far from being static, the sculptures would obtain a remarkable plasticity.

>> By bending black wire into something resembling freestanding line drawings, I create sculptures that engage the viewer by involving them in their subtle changes. When the light in the room shifts, so does the mood of the piece. A breeze might softly move an arm for example. My wire sculptures tell stories of simple human moments: a woman adjusting her hair, a face gazing from behind tightly wrapped arms, a mother gently cradling her baby. The honest, unguarded moments are those which I find to be the most beautiful.<<

I like the Gavin worth's art work because of he used the simple line and clearly line performance 3D effect , not too much modification . Clearly express the intention of the work. People can also easy to understand.
