Project 9

For this project my main intention was to take my original model and transform it into more of an abstraction.  My original model was more or less a literal translation of my painting into a terrain like model.  With this in mind, I focused on how my painting could be turned into a physical model.

Original Model

As I began to model, I wanted to try to explore the characteristics of my painting as a whole.  I concluded that the more graffiti like characters where what made the painting, in conjunction with the layers of transparency. So for my first step of my model, i began by simply making a three dimensional version of that graffiti character.

Step 1

I took this method and duplicated it several times.

Step 2

Interested with the idea of making these shapes into a model, I began to explore how I could make an object out of these shapes.  Therefore, I began to rotate the shapes i created and explored how they could intersect with one another.

Step 3

I continued this process, resulting in my final object.  I was primarily interested how this model was both able to capture the graffiti expression of the painting, as well as demonstrate a method of overlap and intersection that was vital in the painting that inspired me.
