Balsa Wood Sculptures

Texture:

Center Focus: 

Repetition: 

This project taught various elements of 3-D work. I focused on three in particular: Texture, Center Focus, and Repetition. For the first piece, I chose to create loops out of wood glue and add texture with pins and woven rubber bands. I also added texture to the side of the wood by using the saw to create ruts in the side. For the Center Focus, I created a larger cube shape with a focus on the piece in the center that I created out of dried wood glue in a balsa wood frame with beads inside the glue. Finally, the piece for repetition had triangle bond paper shapes with wood glue that I shaped into squares. I also continued the repetition idea by cutting the wood into similar shapes as the shapes on top. These pieces showed three elements of the three dimension using minimal materials.
