topography, section and void

Project 2
Review: Wednesday (9.8.2010)

>Have topo drawings pinned up by 8:30am replacing/remove old work from boards

Working in teams of two, locate an old pair of shoes, low 3 gallon buck, and died liquid (i.e. coffee, koolaid).
Shoes must be enclosed and reach to at least the ankle and no more than the knee.
Mark the interior of the buck in 1/2" intervals.
Place both shoes upright in the bucket making sure they do not touch. Add rocks or some other heavy material inside the shoes so they do not float.
Begin filling the buck up with "ink" taking a photograph directly above (in the same exact same position) at every increment.
Repeat until the shoe is completely submerged.

Once the shoes are dry begin to deconstruct by removing the vertical seams but leave shoe patterns intact with the sole. Unfold both shoes, add weight above to flatten overnight.

With the photographs, create illustrator 11x17 topographic drawings using only the intersection line of the liquid with the shoe. One shoe topo drawing per page.

Print and pin up by 8:30am Wednesday.
