3D Design
Proportion/Scale
Wearable Art
Focusing on manipulating proportion and scale for dramatic effect.
Create a Wearable Art piece for the TEDx event.
Using the "giant head" framework, create a REMOVABLE structure to add to the box form.
Design and craft a sculptural garment that protects its wearer from a natural or imagined force (rain, gravity, curse, sadness, abduction by extraterrestrials, or being tickled, for example).
The sculptural garment should be functional and also communicate its intended purpose symbolically in its design. Use or create a textile in addition to other materials of your choice.
The piece should be inviting to touch.
The piece does not need to be a full suit, but should be wearable and to scale)
(hat, jacket, umbrella, shoes, etc)

From: Try this on for size: Nick Cave's Soundsuits at SAM
"My first Soundsuit was made out of twigs," Cave writes. "The initial concept came from the Rodney King incident and the Los Angeles riots in 1992." Sitting in a Chicago park, he found himself "thinking about the feelings that I was dealing with as a black male."
Then he looked on the ground and found a twig.
By the time he was done, he'd constructed a suit that entirely covered him and creaked and rattled as he moved. Like a coat of armor, he says, it embellished the body while protecting the wearer from "outside culture."
Cave's creations, made in collaboration with colleagues at his Chicago studio, have grown less defensive and more ecstatic over the past two decades. All are composed of found materials: hooked rugs, figurines, toys, unspooled cassette tape, hair dyed in outlandish colors and every variety of button, sequin and bead.
