Question:

Create an interesting sculpture, using basic 3D shapes of sports elements eg. different Balls, Bats etc. You can scale each object to any size of your choice, and use them as per your choice. Draw the effect of light and shadow on your composition. Use colours of your choice.

Show Hint

Combine spheres, cylinders and cones from sports items into one balanced 3D composition and show consistent light and shadow with colour.

Solution and Explanation

This is an open-ended 3D composition question; there is no single correct answer.
Approach: 1) Choose basic solids that match sports elements: spheres (football, cricket ball), cylinders and tapered cylinders (bats, stumps), cones or discs (cones, rings).
2) Vary their scale deliberately (one dominant large form, medium supporting forms, small accents) and group them with overlap, stacking or balance so the sculpture has a clear focal point and rhythm.
3) Fix one light source and draw the highlights, mid-tones, core shadows and cast shadows on the ground, keeping the shadows consistent in direction.
4) Apply colour with intent: a limited palette, warm against cool, with colour also following form (lighter on lit faces, darker in shade).
What examiners look for: creativity, correct 3D form and proportion, unity and balance of the composition, accurate light and shadow, and good colour use.
