Wire Sculpture Final Sketches

Alright so I'm decided on a sketch I'm going to use to build my wire sculpture. Here are a couple preliminary sketches, including my "tentacle idea".


You can see I discovered this shape after working on the "tentacles". The resemble wings, and I can see a creamy colored material stretched over them tightly that would be perfect.



You can click on this picture above to see it more detailed. On the left I'm brainstorming some basic shapes, mimicking my paper tests and some other shapes. You can see the "tentacle" on the bottom left, the first one I came up with and then repeated later. On the right, I started exploring that "wing" shape and seeing what I could do with it. On the bottom right, is the first of the final sketch. The top drawing would never stand up, so I solved that problem by giving it this circular pattern. This gives it 4 legs that will keep it upright nicely.


Finally, here is the finished sketch that I'm going to be working with. I like it because it reminds me of old aerial machines with it's "rocket" like structure. I think its perfect for the assignment also because it has line and plane and stand up using only the wire.
