Interdisciplinary Fine Arts BA/MA TUAS Trier

Every student is asked to bring 10 pieces of wood. Out of those, they are asked to create a sculptural shelf for the course reference materials. The structure is built without plan and in total silence. It is finished when no material is left over.
In this activity, non-verbal communication and interaction is being practiced. The materials-based design process leads to unexpected results and alternative paths in finding ideas and improvisation. Because no one talks, spatial awareness, material awareness and observation are emphasized.
