DIGITAL CRAFT/ PLAN//

For the practice of Digital craft, I have chosen to focus on the sculpture of ‘Zittend naakt met appel’,(1957-1959) by the artist, Charlotte van Pallandt. The sculpture is made from Bronze and depicts a female form sitting thoughtfully. I have chosen this figure to appropriate as it interests me, I would like to focus on appropriating the human form. I firstly photographed it in order to document it digitally from a few angles.

A sketch that I have created of the sculpture that I have chosen to appropriate, I plan to 3D print the sculpture using the 3D printer that is available for use in school.

After documenting it with my camera I plan to 3D print the form of the sculpture, focusing on really capturing the angles of the figure, therefore, appropriating it. I returned to the museum once again to 3D scan the object to prepare it for printing, I have placed a screenshot of one of the scans I made, using a total of 29 photographs stitched together. I have created a few scans of the sculpture to prepare it for 3D printing so that I can determine which scan displays the form of the figure best.

RESEARCH// PRIMARY RESEARCH

I have carried out both primary and secondary research into different types of sculpture, both present and modern. my primary research is experimenting with capturing the human form, as that is what i am interested in appropriating, i therefore photographed my younger brother to do this.

SECONDARY RESEARCH

I have focused on both classical and modern sculpture depicting the human form to assist me in my research progress, using secondary sourced images.
