Memorable Stairs Short Project

Yesterday in class we did a short project in which we had to design a set of memorable stairs. For my design I decided to have my setting in a pond or some small body of water. My idea was to have larger than usual steps with a pillar coming out of the bottom to elevate it. Each step is on its own pillar and none of the steps are actually connected to another step. There are no railings to give you that almost floating or walking on water feeling. Also the steps are a greenish color to make them look like large lily pads coming out of the water.

My first idea for the short project was to do something abstract, but that seemed to fail as I could not think of how to draw abstract stairs. After just staring at my supplies for my model for ab out a minute I decided the paper I was building on was water because of the greenish water color it had. At first I thought of creating steps across the water but I quickly realized that they needed to be stairs. All I did is create Elevated stairs with no rails to give you a fear factor that you would fall off, but then when you look down you have a beautiful pond. The stairs would lead to some small vacation home or penthouse. The whole area and scene is used for vacation purposes. If you had a beautiful stair case in your home you would admire it for a month or two, but then it would become just and ordinary stair case to you.

My model is just very simple and not very detailed, it doesn't fully display my ideas but it has the basic ideas.
