Practice question · Put in order
Arrange the stages of a sculptural project in order.
- Decide the material and formal approach
- Install, document the finished work and assess against the proposition
- State a proposition specific enough to fail
- Test materials at small scale
- Make, documenting decisions as they are taken
Hints
- The proposition comes before the material decision.
- Testing precedes committing to a material.
Show the answer
- State a proposition specific enough to fail
- Test materials at small scale
- Decide the material and formal approach
- Make, documenting decisions as they are taken
- Install, document the finished work and assess against the proposition
Why
Testing before deciding is the step that looks like a delay and is not. A tile fired, a sample cast or a joint loaded to failure costs an afternoon; discovering the same information at full scale costs the project.
