IARC 102: Understanding music through 3D design

While interpreting Beethoven's music in class we picked several elements of design that fit the music piece. These elements included contrast, repetition, and elegance. When we came back from completing our individual projects we had to decide what aspects of each project to put within the final project. As you can see in the photo there are three sticks that erect from the middle vessel. I chose that form in my individual project to represent elegance. While the form is simple the other elements of the project makes it work. At the bottom of the project is a very strong base, which is supposed to represent the dissonance in our music piece. This particular aspect of the project was designed my Monica. The lined up bamboo sticks on the base add more to the elegance feature we were going for. 
The vertical stacking vessel in the middle of the our design was designed my Torrey. The stacking represents repetition that is found in the music. Last, but not least we examined the paper curls designed by Rachel. We found that Rachel's curls vs. Torrey's vertical stacking added the contrast we were looking for.
