2/18/14 3D Design

Today's Class-  Due to what I believe was the fourth snow since our last meeting, Kean University scheduled a delayed opening for 11:00 am, and I decided to delay it a little further to noon, to make sure everyone, including myself, would have time to get there.  As it turned out, the travel conditions were better than expected and I was on campus at 11:00, and students started showing up after 12:00.

With only a half day to work with, and a very reduced number of students, it didn't make sense to start the planned car-related exercise.  So today those present were able to continue working on the foam core relief project we started last week.  

How to make this up- The instructions and details for the foam core reliefs project can be found in last week's blog post.  It has been updated to include images of my examples of the initial skeleton piece, and a second relief on another thing with similar proportions and motifs in the positive and negative relationship.

Homework- The pair of foam core relief panels is due at the beginning of class on March 4, 2014.  

For next class 2/25/14- We will go back to the planned outline and do a portfolio exercise related to the concept of surface planes- the car assignment.  Bring images from multiple directions of an automobile that you like specifically because of its physical appearance- any style or age is fine.  Also bring  a sketchbook, pencil and eraser. foam core, bristol board, x-acto knife and scissors, and white glue.
