#COroN-ARTE: Agamographs

#COroN-ARTE

           AGAMOGRAPHS         




This week we're going to do an   AGAMOGRAPHS  

An   AGAMOGRAPHS  is a series of images that change at different angles.  When you view the finished agamograph, you’ll see one complete image from one point of view, and the other one from the opposite angle.

This work is named after the artist Yaacov Agam.


So, who is Yaacov?

Yaacov Agam is an Israeli artist that was born in 1928,  he is 92 years old!!!! 

There is a museum dedicated to his art and there is an award created specially for him!


What are we going to do?

We are going to do an  AGAMOGRAPH  choosing the design that you like the most. It can be anything! 


Option 1 - Build your own!

1st. Design, draw and colour!

You're going to need 2 pieces of paper (I divided them in 2).


Use the ruler to divide them into rectangles and number them in the correct order.


Draw and colour your designs!
Today is 5th June: World Environment Day!

2nd. Cut each strip! 

Yes! Cut them carefully!




3rd. Glue the strips - in order - in the other piece of paper. 

For example: 1A-1B-2A-2B-3A-4A...

4th. Fold in an accordion style, front and back.

 



YOU GOT IT!!!

Option 2 - Using a template!

The steps are mostly the same but you can use a template.

You'll need a printer 😣
(If you don't have one, like your teacher, you can do option 1)

I've found this one for free



There are plenty of designs on the internet to inspire you. 

I believe it's always better to do your own :)
