Today's Class- Today we began our first graded project of the semester, one that is common to 3D design classes, creating three dimensional modules and using them to build a sculpture.
How to make this up- For the Make 100 project you will need to design a 3D piece out of bristol board. Above are a few examples I made quickly a few semesters ago. Once you are satisfied with your prototype, you need to make 100 that are identical. After making the 100 identical modules, you will assemble them into a sculpture of your own design. It may be representative, pure design, or abstract. Below are several student examples of finished projects from previous semesters. Additional examples and more specific directions can be found here.
Homework- The completed assembled Make 100 project is due at the beginning of class on September 22, 2015.
For next class 9/15/15- We will spend some time discussing basic design principles and and then work on a class exercise relating to the concept of symmetry. You will need bristol board, a piece of foam core or mat board to act as a base (about 9" x 12"), something to do some sketches on (sketchbook, loose paper, etc), pencil and eraser, scissors or a knife to cut the bristol board, and glue.
