Design a Maquette for an Installation

Use what you’ve learned about working with form to make a site-specific artwork

March / April 2020

Choose an area at your school that you find boring or uninteresting. Experiment with form to design an installation for that space.

Select a space at your school and then get permission to install an artwork there.

Make sketches, take measurements, and think about how your work will interact with or transform the space.

Before you begin, check out these examples by the students at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida!
