Project 3 is to make a 3 dimensional rendering in Maya, of a sculpture that we create. I've never really made anything in any 3 dimensional art forms so this will be a new one for me. I started by researching modern sculpture on the internet which was way harder than I expected it to be. However I happened to have stumbled across a sculptor by the name of Mark Di Suvero. I won't go into details about his life except that he use to work in construction, so he used to building things. After he was injured in a work-related accident he started to create large bold sculptors out of very earthly things like I-beams, heavy gauge metal, tires, and scrap metal. I find it very hard to figure out an artists intent behind their work so I usually base an opinion of it on how it looks to me or makes me feel. I find his work to be more interesting than most other sculptor's because he uses materials that are not foreign to me. During the summers I work for my dad's construction business so things like scrap metal and beams and trusses used in construction are things that are pretty close to me so i find it easy to physically relate to his sculptures. Not only that, but I'm just a fan of bigger, bolder works of art that stand out in an environment that is un-natural for it, just like his. Also, I really like art that has an industrial, artificial feel to it, which is why I find his work so interesting. I hope that in this project I can find a way to re-create his style of work in my own ways to make things that mean something to me but are also interesting and worldly-looking such as his works.
