Today's Class- Today we opened with a review of some book definitions of basic design principles as they apply to three dimensions. I also showed a few dozen slides of historical art as examples of symmetry/asymmetry, balance, movement, and negative space in sculpture. These principles will be useful when working on the final assembled module project due next week. Then we moved on to a portfolio exercise that made use of the ideas of symmetry and asymmetry.
How to make this up- Everyone was in attendance today, so everyone knows what we did. However, if anyone wants to relive the experience, above and below are photos of an example student project from a previous semester, and the full instructions and more examples can be seen here.
This is a portfolio exercise that must be made up by the end of the semester to receive full credit.
Homework- The Make 100 module project is due at the beginning of class on February 17, 2015. Bring the assembled piece. It will be graded and returned that day.
For next class 2/17/15- After the critique of the module project, we will begin the next graded project, which makes use of the idea of relief sculpture. Bring one or two full pieces of foam core, pencil and eraser, x-acto knife (spare blades are recommended) and glue.
