This is where we get into serial plains (like at the mall)! And organic shapes (which are more fun to draw than other shapes)! You could also refer to them as biomorphic shapes, referring to shapes occurring in nature. Our assignment was to create two small (6in X 6in) models using paper and foam board bits for spacers, layered to create serial plains and imitate volume with flat surfaces. Both had different requirements. The first was a free standing organic shape, using only curves, we drew out ourselves. The shape had to rise up from the base going from large to small.
The second also was an organic shape but it also had to incorperate two straight edges to create a right angle. While it did rise up from the base (vertically) and went from large to small we were challenged to make the shape slowly morph into another similar shape (or not so similar).
My shape kind of looks like a whale I think.
This all leads up to the second part of the project, which is full size (1ft by 1ft) and made completely out of foam board! It was quite a bit more complicated...
