3-D DESIGN

Picture
ART215 Three-Dimensional Design is a .50 credit course open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have had either Drawing or Design. Three-dimensional Design students investigate both the expressive nature of the sculptor and the logistical concerns of the engineer through the creation of 3-D objects. Students will develop an understanding of the relationship between space and object, while considering the role each plays in shaping the other. Students will create work in a variety of materials such as wood, paper and clay and will create both as individual artists and in collaborative projects.



3-D Design Vocabulary

WEEK ONE:
Exploring 3-D Design historically and aesthetically

Picture
In the first week of the course, we will establish our classroom housekeeping processes and practices. Through research, class members will investigate the many modes of 3-D artmaking throughout history and will discuss and discover some of the driving ideas behind 3-D art.


WEEKS 2-3:
SCULPTING IN WHITE PAPER

Picture
In weeks two and three, we will work together to create a collaborative sculpture that investigates and celebrates the properties of white paper as a sculptural medium. Through landscape and cityscape concepts, each student will investigate organic and synthetic ideas in three-dimensional form.

White Paper Sculpture Examples

CARDBOARD SCULPTURE/RE-PURPOSED MATERIALS

Students will develop understanding and skills in a variety of areas including: fabrication, use of cutting tools, glues and adhesives, cardboard joinery techniques, measurement, proportion and scale, re-scaling to fit size requirements, and more.

personal sculptural investigation (final project)
