Balance can become an element of tension and drama within design. Within this sculpture of a giraffe drinking water, I wanted the concept of balance to the brink of collapse. Through the use of layered task board, this form was created within the guidelines of planar design.

How will this sculpture be created through planar design? I used sketching as a way of coming to my answers and creative choices. These drawings were created using graphite, Micron, and prismacolor.
