Title; Gaudi 3-dimensional project
Objectives;To investigate the work of Antonio Gaudi and use his work to inspire my own.
Antonia Gaudi (1852-1926)
Gaudi is an artist and architect from Spain. He was the main architect to assist in re-designing Barcelona’s buildings in the late 19th and early
20th century.
Gaudi got his ideas by looking at natural form.
For example plants, bulbs, seed pods,
leaves and trees.
Gaudi’s most famous building is the
Cathedral Sagrada Familia in
Barcelona. It still isn’t finished, even
though it was started in 1914!
It looks like it is
growing out of the
ground.
Inside the cathedral compare the
shape of trees to the columns.
Bell towers. Look closely, they are
made of stone and mosaic tiles.
Bell towers.
Look how bright
the colours are.
Compare the
top with this
flower.

Mosaic technique
This building is called Casa Mila after Pere Mila a
rich businessman who paid for it. It is also called
‘La Pedrera’ or the quarry.
The roof on top of the
Casa Mila. Note the
air vents and
chimney pots.
One of the air
vents covered
in mosaic tiles.
These chimney pots look
like something from Star
Wars!
These air vents have
been covered in broken
pieces of green
glass bottles;
what does it
look like?
Note the
twist in the
stems. This
helps the
wind pass
the chimney
pot without
damaging
the surfaces.
LESSON 1 Choose a selection of natural things and fill an
A4 page with at least 4 small beautiful sketches. Try to
work from real first hand objects, from a walk or from a
garden (e.g. a snail, a daisy, and apple). If you are not able
to do this you can work from pictures or the internet. Do
NOT work from your imagination, these are to be
observational drawings.
Lesson 2
• Imagine that you live in a
mansion and you have 4 large
chimneys.
• Fill an A4 page with small
sketches of chimneys for your
new mansion. They must be
inspired by nature, use real
plants, animals, bugs etc. for
inspiration. Look at real
nature or images of nature for
guidance, detail and
inspiration.
• (Later you will be carving these out of
soap, so consider your designs, are they
suitable for this purpose?)
Lesson 3
• Fill an A4 page with small sketches of chimneys
for your new mansion.
This time they can be inspired by anything that
interests you, again the sketches need to be
inspired by real objects, not just from your
imagination.
Lesson 4
Carve Your
Soap!
• You will need: - a bar of soap (or maybe a few) – the
best soaps are usually cheap, high
shea content, more oily softer
soaps.
- a normal table knife, it does not
need to be sharp
- A cocktail stick/needle or small
skewer
• To make:1. ‘Draw’ the design on to the soap with
the cocktail stick (remember to think
about the back and the sides (it’s 3D)
2. Carefully scrape away the soap that
you do not need
3. If it brakes try again or turn the
design into something else!
