Mondrian design drop out
Piet Mondrian -1918
Mondrian created a style based on pure geometry. For Mondrian, a grid-pattern composition of horizontal and vertical lines could represent the universal harmony of the world. He used only straight lines and rectangles (harmony and order), and the primary colors – red, blue and yellow (the most basic and pure) – along with three noncolors – white, black and gray.
A drop-out vessel is created by slumping a piece of glass through an elevated mold with a hole in the center. The part of the glass that “drops” through the hole can stretch considerably, significantly informing the design of the finished piece.
Inspired by Mondrian design you will focus on how to successfully design and create beautiful drop vessel form. You will create a 10Ă—10 square drop out bowl and an 8Ă—8 drape/slump project.
