The Great Pilaster Project

Here’s another freshman project from the Foundation Studies exhibition in the Woods-Gerry Gallery.

 This is from Martie Holmer’s 2-D design class. The assignment was called The Great Pilaster Project. Students started off by researching architectural elements and decorative designs from various cultures.  They were also given limitations such as the dimensions of the paper and the use of gouache. It also had to have a man made element, a floral element, and a human/animal element incorporated into the project. What I like most about this project is the students’ varying interpretations of the assignment.

The show will be up until Feb. 15th.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
