4/26/16 3D Design


Today's Class- Today was the second to last meeting of our 3D class.  We started nothing new, continuing the final project (inflatable sculptures) we started last week.  We also looked at the book projects that were due today, and spent a few minutes doing the student survey regarding the semester.  Some late arriving museum papers were turned in.

How to make this up- Information about the current assignment can be found in last week's post.  By the end of the day today most students had made progress on the project.  Those working with a partner or group had chosen the subject for their final piece, and in most cases had started working on it.  Some had even completed the basic construction and had even tried a test inflation to make sure it was working.  


Homework- The Final Project, the inflatable sculpture project, is due next week, 5/3/16, our last meeting of the semester.  We will start looking at Final pieces as soon as students are ready to show them, and once the pieces have been shown and graded, you will be able to leave.  You may have until the official end of class next week to complete and show your final piece.  Sketches and models related to the Final are also due by next week and can still be turned in for full credit.  This will be your last chance to turn in any work for the class, so if you owe any back assignments, including the museum paper, bring them to class next week.  Once the class ends, no work will be accepted.

For next class May 3, 2016- Bring whatever you need to work on whatever if is you need to do.  If you haven't finished your Final Project before arriving, bring clear plastic drop cloth material, and clear plastic sealing tape.  Extra tape is recommended, as unexpected leaks are common during the last day and you may need to do some patching.  I will bring in one hair dryer, but having your own (with a cool setting) means you won't have to wait in line for a chance to use it.  Before you leave that day, make sure I have seen everything you completed for the class.  If you are unsure about anything we've done this semester, use this blog to check due dates, requirements, etc.
