Polyhedral Structures Phases A & B













In phase A of the project I use polyhedral additively to create a mask. I was inspired for this project by a circular African mask. I used a color scheme of black for most of the face and multiple color such as red, yellow, blue, and green for accents around the outside and the nose section which I wanted to be the focal point of the mask. I used bristol board and construction paper for my polyhedral structures which made up my mask. My mask consisted of 3 polyhedral shapes which were octagonal kaleidocycles, an oval cone, and a icosahedron.

In phase B of my project I again used polyhedrals but to create a wall structure. I used several different types of truncated pyramids to create my structure. I used negative and positive space to create an interesting design on the stick structures and spacing. I also made cutouts in several shapes to enhance the negative space. The color pattern is red, blue, and purple and black. The mix-matching color creates a cohesive style.

  1. Your approach to the mask was quite unique. Knowing the one you were inspired from, yours meant quite a creative journey of translation into polyhedral and bristol board!
    The wall structure was defined also in a very creative way. I am sorry it was presented later than the critique, glad though we could even briefly review it in the following class.
    Good documentation and interesting visual and structural outcome in both phases of the project.
