Project 4 (Group Project)

I think we've come up some good ideas for our group project. As a group, we spent a really long time discussing how to best combine our thoughts and the ideas which were prevalent in the 3rd project. We spent a lot more time talking and deciding what we really wanted to do to very specific aspects. Even though it took a while to get everyone to agree on a very specific project, I think it will benefit us in the end. Whatever time we lost in discussing detail is certainly worth the addition those details add to the project. We're going to have to use a lot of boxes, but the project should turn out pretty nice.


Our idea for the project is to have a bunch of stacks of boxes. The boxes will be smaller and smaller closer to the top of stacks, crating a sort of conical shape. These will almost be a microcosm for the overall project, which arranges the stacks of boxes in a conical manner. There will be one stack of boxes 5 tall in the middle, with a ring of four around stacks around it that will be 3 boxes tall. Around that will be a circle of six stacks 3 boxes tall. The idea of having the boxes in a circle most is closely related to the theme of my third project, which focuses on the circularity of things and the natural recycling process.

We plan on connecting the boxes to both reflect the theme of family and the connectedness of my last project. This should also help the viewer's eye perceive the circles we are trying to create with the formation of the boxes. All the boxes on the outside towers will be open toward the inside, and the middle tower will be open to all sides. This aspect reflects the connectedness of family.
