SITE/SPECIFIC – RTB*
Students should note that this is a sample assignment. Instructors may alter its contents, and referring to the materials given directly by the instructor will always be the most accurate.


OBJECTIVES
  1. Become familiar working collaboratively.
  2. Create a three-dimensional work that considers site-specificity.

THE ASSIGNMENT
Part 1:
 
You will work as a class to create a single site-specific installation for Rock the Ball*. The environment should consider the semester’s theme and will be in one of the following three spaces: 417, 327 or the Ball Hall Elevator (or other designated spaces). For 327 and 417 you will get to use a portion of the room. The space will be assigned to your class prior to the beginning of the project.
 
The final work and its proceeding sketch should consider the elements and principles of 3D Design discussed throughout the semester. Think about how your installation might affect its environment. Will it have a function, like a stage or a place to relax and have conversation? Will the space use light, sound, or interactive elements?
 
Step #1
To begin each student will be asked to make a concept study/sketch for the installation. The study will need to indicate the materials used, how the work will be constructed, and how it will be incorporated in the designated site. The results of these studies will be discussed as a group and a single study will be chosen to be realized be the entire class. Please consider the scope, amount of money and time needed to complete the project.
 
Step #2
The class will be broken into smaller groups of 3 or 4. These groups will get individual tasks to accomplish that will bring you towards the larger goal of your finished installation. For instance, if you were making a paper-mâché rock environment, one group could tear up paper while another mixes wheat paste. All the components (preliminary work) for the installation should be made within these group formations.
 
Step #3
Within the few days before Rock the Ball you will work collectively to install your site-specific project. You must coordinate with the classes that are utilizing these rooms. You cannot interrupt their normal class session and you might need to meet in the evenings to accomplish the work.
