3-D Composition from Balsa Wood















For this assignment, we were supposed to create a three-dimensional composition out of balsa wood.  The design was supposed to demonstrate the concepts of line, plane, and volume, while displaying symmetry, balance, harmony, and proportion.  I designed it so that the solid form at the bottom would be balanced by the open space surrounding it, while the open form at the top gets some visual weight from the walls of rectangles.  However, the two shapes form an octahedron, so the continuation of line is what brings harmony to the piece.
