In this project I was put in a group of four and we were analyzing Samuel Barbers Adagio for stings. Out task was to each make a model out of 12 skewers and 12 4X6 piece of Bristol board. Then we were to collaborate and create and make a final model that incorporated all 4 ideas.
When we looked at and listened to the music and decided it had several main ideas/ feelings: Sadness, Dissidence, no resolve and gradual growth. Then as we all talked we decided that our model should grown but show the strain.
My idea was to gradual building of the music with visible dissidence. Also I decided to assemble my model by puncturing the paper with the skewers.
Then when we all came together we all had focused visually on the waves of the music and the growth.
From this on we took the growth of the sides.
From this one we took the construction of the base. and the vertical lines as structure. 
From this one we took the waving forms and the over all construction.
