3D DESIGN AT M.U. section 2

A few moments during the final critique

2010-05-07T13:05:00.000-07:00

Final Project No. 5 complete!

2010-05-06T12:48:00.000-07:00

Most of the class chose to do "soft sculptures" - who would have known how many people still sew!
Some chose to do the "hinge" project in various ways.
Above is the only foam project which also included the time consuming job of "furring"! Not quite done.

A couple of work sessions before the final critique

Final projects begun!

Project No. 3 - Plaster/Mass

2010-03-25T12:37:00.000-07:00

The class did an amazing job of turning little, cast pieces of plaster into finished work. Open minds at work here!

Tasha has caught up while dealing with many issues surrounding tiny Marley - here's Tasha's cardboard/plane project:

Another day of working with plaster

The making of "Feeding Frenzy"

Just a little fun at eARTS Day -

Working on Plaster/Mass - Project No. 3

Project No. 4

2010-03-08T18:48:00.000-08:00

Here's an early post so that everyone will have ample time to collect "stuff."

Next project - No 3

2010-03-08T18:45:00.001-08:00

We will start this project after Spring Break, March 15, 2010.

Final Photos - Project No. 2 - Cardboard/Plane

2010-03-07T15:46:00.000-08:00

Our work is finished just in time for a well deserved Spring Break! To begin to appreciate the effort put forth on these projects, review the previous four posts/videos.

Day 4 Project No. 2

Day 1 Project No 2

2010-02-19T11:12:00.000-08:00

3D objects should be viewed by a moving eye:

Wire/line 3D project completed! Part 1

2010-02-08T17:10:00.000-08:00

Much work and some muscle went into these projects - quite a few cuts annd nicks on our fingers, too.

Wire/line 3D project completed! Part 2

2010-02-08T17:01:00.000-08:00

Project No. 2 - cardboard/plane

2010-02-07T07:33:00.000-08:00

I think that this project should be really fun - I especially like that, after the construction is done, color can make the form really POP!

Moving right along with our wire/line projects

General stuff & two more mini-projects.

2010-01-31T09:11:00.000-08:00

Here is an overview of the classroom and the artists at work. We've been twisting two wires together to make strength for our wire sculptures.

A couple of other mini-project paper sculptures -

Starting Project No. 1

Project No 1 - Wire/Line

2010-01-26T05:03:00.000-08:00

This first (of five) major project starts with the idea that lines can describe a volume/an object. A bit like a contour drawing.

MINI PROJECTS COMPLETED

2010-01-25T18:54:00.001-08:00

Enjoy these quick projects - paper and glue period!

Some projects were quite delicate and others showed how sturdy paper can be. Check-out the craftsmanship! We were able to capture the 3D aspect of various objects more effectively than I thought we would. I forgot to photograph my project and two students were absent due to heavy rains that caused some flooding. So I will post those three projects in a few days.

Beginning the mini-project

2010-01-20T17:58:00.000-08:00

Today was the first day of class and we got started on the mini-project. Here are just a few examples of how we began the semester-
You might have to guess just what the finished object is going to be? You can click on each image to enlarge it and to clearly see the artist's name!

I will post all the projects when they are completed.

MINI PROJECT SHEET

2010-01-17T08:22:00.001-08:00

Here at Mansfield University, spring classes start in a couple of days. The 3D design students will be asked to start working (hands on!) almost as soon as they come in the door.

Getting Ready!

2010-01-05T10:21:00.001-08:00

While we wait for the new Allen Hall to be completed (above), we make due in the old Allen Hall. The basement room known as G22A was loaded with stuff (below) that is now cleaned out.
Twelve looms are now pushed into two areas at one end of the room.(above) and the space now looks like a good art room (below).
Above instuctor John Shanchuk, of section 1 of the required Three Dimensional Design class, is happy to be hauling stuff away. Below the instructor Paul Bozzo, of section 2, helps clean out the room.
