In your project, instead of found objects, you will create simple modeled forms and layer them together in the manner you see in one of Louise&#8217;s boxes. The repetition and patterns create an impression of <strong>implied motion<\/strong>, which your project should explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be some formal differences between your work and hers: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nevelson works <strong>additively<\/strong> layering objects together. You will work <strong>subtractively<\/strong> to create a mold for a sculpture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are lots of undercuts in the layering of Nevelson&#8217;s work. Not in yours!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Her compositions are edge-to-edge. You need to account for tooling with a border.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But: your strategies will be identical: you both create a <strong>non-objective<\/strong> expression by using <strong>collage<\/strong> to put things together. What does that mean?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" data-attachment-id=\"3322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/collage-in-art-and-fabrication\/d7hftxdivxxvm-cloudfront\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.webp\" data-orig-size=\"533,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.webp\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.webp 533w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront-300x450.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Detail, Royal Tide I<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-objectivity\"><\/span>Non-objectivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in previous modeling projects, we learned how to create work using various means of expression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Abstraction<\/strong>&nbsp;is the process of selective emphasis on what the artist perceives to be a particular essence of an object. In&nbsp;<strong>Topological Transformations<\/strong>, we&nbsp;<strong>abstracted<\/strong>&nbsp;a recognizable object, changing scale and material to emphasize pure form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Realism<\/strong>&nbsp;is the degree to which fidelity with the observed object is captured by the artist. In the&nbsp;<strong>Looking Glass<\/strong>&nbsp;project, we used a type of realism known as&nbsp;<strong>Surrealism<\/strong>&nbsp;to create unsettling, humorous, or unexpected juxtapositions among forms that we see in other contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a third means of expression we have not explored:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Non-objective<\/strong>&nbsp;art does not express recognizable objects at all. It creates a new reality, deliberately avoiding symbolism, metaphor, or recognition to communicate the artist&#8217;s vision in a state of pure&nbsp;<strong>Expressionism<\/strong>. This is how we characterize Nevelson&#8217;s work, and it will inspire this final modeling project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

id=\"Collage_strategy\"><\/span>Collage strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a collage strategy to model will involve these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Develop a sketch of 3-5 simple objects that can be created using advanced modeling techniques of&nbsp;<strong>Extrude<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Revolve<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Sweep<\/strong>, and\/or&nbsp;<strong>Loft<\/strong>&nbsp;generated from a&nbsp;<strong>Sketch<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create the objects in Fusion 360 using the appropriate techniques, including modeling tactics learned for earlier projects. Avoid issues created by&nbsp;<strong>undercuts<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>texture<\/strong>, and check for a proper draft angle in the vertical orientation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Collage<\/strong>&nbsp;these objects together into an <strong>overlapping<\/strong> composition that creates a visual implied motion. As you collage, avoid undercuts and details that cannot be captured by the \u00bc round-nose cutting bit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Combine; Join<\/strong>&nbsp;these objects to create one unified body, and create a \u215b inch radius Fillet at every corner that is NOT engaged with the base of the object. Inspect the model carefully to see that every corner receives the fillet, and look for unwanted loss of detail in this process. If such occurs, return to the collage and revise the composition, then re-apply the fillet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Combine: Cut<\/strong>&nbsp;the object from a simple rectangular box that represents the stock being cut on the CNC router.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweat_the_details\"><\/span>Sweat the details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you create a concept and iterate a model, you want to be mindful of the limitations of our tool. We can indeed place any mill in the router, with any end shape and diameter. However, for a first-time router experience, and to accommodate everyone in a studio, we need to limit tool time to around 30 minutes per person. So we keep one general-purpose mill in the router for this job: a \u215b&#8221; diameter end mill. This is a bit that is flat on the tip, and \u00bc&#8221; wide altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This limits the kind of detail in your model that works well when it is carved out of the block of material, which we call the <strong>stock<\/strong>. Generally, you want to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Detail \u00bc&#8221; or smaller<\/strong> | This can be hard to predict if you scale an element down, but if you have any element that is exactly 0.25&#8243; or smaller, the G-code generator will <strong>ignore<\/strong> it. The rule of thumb: to ensure it cuts, make any detail in your model <strong>0.26&#8243; or larger<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extreme acute angles<\/strong> | Acute angles are less than 90\u00b0. Extreme acutes are angles that are smaller than 45\u00b0. A \u00bc&#8221; end mill will miss a lot of the volume of a shape as it approaches the corner. The problem gets more extreme as the angle gets smaller:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Oblique (&gt;90\u00b0)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Acute (&lt;90\u00b0)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Extreme acute<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-attachment-id=\"3378\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/altnevelson\/cuts\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts.png\" data-orig-size=\"5475,3075\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cuts\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-1024x575.png\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cuts-2048x1150.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eeeeee\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Minor loss of corner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Visible loss of corner<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Extreme loss of corners<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_case_study_for_process\"><\/span>A case study for process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve broken these concerns down in a case study below.
