For this project, the materials used are seashells and rope. For the top part I found this circular form shape and put two sticks in form of a X on top of the circle and tied it together. To make the shells hang I tied rope around each one, each rope has 5 shells hanging from it.
For my final project I decided to make a dream catcher. I really like them, dream catchers are meant to stop bad dreams and have good ones. The materials I used was a solid circular shape I had, then wrapped around it a brown rope. For the feathers to hang, I pushed strings through them as well as through the black beads to separate them,I chose to use beads because it will make it easier to push through the strings and feathers. For the ropes in the middle I had to tie them with one another to make that form. Lastly to add color I colored the brown rope black.
In this project I have a combination of Hallow Geometric form(Circle), Modular forms employing unit shapes and axis, Linear forms in wire(brown rope, vertical strings hanging down, as well as the linear form in the middle of the dream catcher with the ropes intertwining) Moving forms(the feathers), Assembled forms(overall dream catcher is the assembled form)
