Your sculpture must be interesting from all sides.

There is no front or back to the sculpture. Avoid

creating a Linear shape.

Dominant, Subdominant and Subordinate Technique

• The DOMINANT volume is the largest element, the most interesting

and dramatic in character. It occupies the dominant position in the

group.

In this composition which volume is the DOMINANT ?

Dominant!

Dominant, Subdominant and Subordinate Technique

• The Subdominant volume complements the dominant in character. It

is lesser in size and in importance.

• The dominant/subdominant relationship can be very exciting!

Together they make the composition more interesting. The first

obligation of these forms is to be complementary. They have to be very

good for each other.

Subdominant

Dominant, Subdominant and Subordinate Technique

• The Subordinate volume makes the design still more interesting by

introducing a third visual element. The subordinate should make the

design more three-dimensional, compliment the existing forms and

complete the unity of the design. This element should be the smallest

element.

Subordinate

• There can only be ONE dominant element

• There CAN be more than one subdominant. If you

decide to use more than one subdominant element

use only odd numbers. 1,3,5,7….

• There can also be more than one subordinate

element. If you decide to use more than one

subordinate element use only odd numbers.

1,3,5,7… These number ratios are more visually

pleasing.

1. Decide which building methods you will be using

2. Decide if you will use angular elements or cylinder elements in between the base and neck of vase.

3. Sketch at least 5 thumbnail sketches that show your ideas of what you want to create.

1. Decide on ONE of your thumbnail sketches

2. Draw/sketch a larger view showing relationships

of dominant, subdominant and subordinate

elements.

3. Draw at least two sides of you favorite thumbnail

sketch.

4. Bring this sketch in to our next class meeting.

Don’t Forget!
