< last week | next week>

1/24/2011 - 1/28/2011

IN CLASS:

  • Introduction to 3D Fundamentals: Line, Plane, Volume.
  • Short problems with planes & volumes
    (personal object
  • discussion of planar sculpture

HOMEWORK:

PLANE into VOLUME:
Concept: You have a sheet of card.
Your objective is to turn this flat plane into an interesting 3-Dimensional volume.
Instructions:

  • You may use more than one sheet of card
  • You may change the shape of the card with
    your hands or any suitable tool
  • You may not use any adhesives, tapes, staples. Any connections you choose to make must be without additional materials
  • Your finished design must be 3-Dimensional & can be presented on a surface (e.g. table), on the wall, or hanging in space

THINK ABOUT THIS:

  • What do you think an “interesting” 3D design would be and why?
  • What kind of shapes can I make? What qualities would they have?
  • What kind of tools can I use to make shapes?
  • What kind of connections can I make without glue, tape, or staples?
  • What would be the best way to present this design (on a horizontal surface, on the wall, hanging)?
  • Is there more than one solution to this problem?
  • Am I going to give this my full attention or am I going to take the easiest solution and put the least amount of time into it?

IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK:

  • Sketch out some ideas from your experimentations
  • Sketch out other display solutions: how would it appear on a surface, wall or hanging from the ceiling?

In addition:
If not completed in class: record Monday’s efforts: draw your personal object and it’s accompanying volume created in class.

BRING TO CLASS ON FRIDAY 1/28
