This piece was done during my Sophomore year of high School in 2009. My AP 3-D Instructor assigned us something new, "Everyone make a chair". So this is what I came up with. I started with a wooden frame, that I made myself which was really hard because the wood was warped. I designed it to look like that classic fold up chair. except the difference with mine is that I didn't make the chair adjustable, I screwed and glued the two sides together, so it is stationary. I cant remember where I got this idea but what I did next made it even less functional. I took different soda cans and crushed them into discs. It took a long time to collect the cans and I had several techniques for flattening them. Although several were flattened a select few were used for the chair. Then I drilled four holes in each disc and connected them with floral wire. Once they were made as one blanket I hung them on the dowel rods for final completion. I would very much like to try this project again to see if I can improve the looks and functionality of the chair.
I can't tell you what my future will be exactly, but I can tell you it will most definately be surrounded by art. This is an updated blog about my artwork.
