Cuckoo Clock

3D Model

As part of my Games Art Fundamentals module we had to create a 3D artwork that a reflects a particular art movement with mine being the arts and crafts movement that started in 1887.

When it came to creating my design I treat this artwork more like a Fine Art piece looking at how i can use symbolism to represent the ideas of the movement namely their anti-mass production views and their main idea of going back to a time before the industrial revolution. This idea of going back literally represented by the clock itself.

I also took inspiration from the work of William Morris using his floral imagery as a main design inspriation incorporating the forget-me-not flowers further linking to that idea of going back.

The structure of the clock itself took inspiration from Phillip Webb’s Red Hill House which has these bevels in the roof that my Cuckoo Clock intends to recreate.
