Using cast plaster objects from the space research course, students were asked to re-surface their objects to create a completely different visual experience. A first introduction to paint as a media and color as an organizing visual element, they were then instructed to produce a stop motion of their object in space.
This project is the first forray into the idea of taking an object and using it as a graphic element, flattening the object visually, then reactivating in as a "graphic object." In the fall 2017 the space studio and surface research course will explore this possiblity further through a collaborative project called collage object.
