Biomorphic Sketches for Maquettes (Day 4 on Feb 18)

These are my biomorphic designs for the small maquette projects from my sketchbook as well as notes that I wrote about each of the five designs I thought were the most successful in terms of balance, shape, and aesthetics.

I found for my biomorphic designs the most successful ones had shapes where there were little to no concave parts of the inner shape.  I think I'm going to use either sketch #4 or #6.

Notes:

• Sketch 2 derives from the core portion of a Fleur De Lis
• Sketch 4 derives from examining Trefoil symbols and equilateral triangles
• Sketch 5 derives from studying different webs of spiders
• Sketch 6 derives from looking at clovers (especially four leaf ones)
• Sketch 9 derives from perusing different types of playing cards (this is a classic French set)
