Three Dimensional Design Art 151 Winter 2002 |
This course focuses on broad universal techniques of 3-dimensional forming. It focuses on "how things work" more than "the creation of new things for new circumstances". It is technical but these techniques are not automatic - they require a lot of effort. You will need to bring active effort to forming an understanding of "how things work". We will learn about these dynamics through experiencing, analysis, synthesis, and fabrication. Working in 3 dimensions is a complex practice. An effective way of addressing this is to hold certain things constant and focus solely on isolated aspects. We narrow the focus to experience the specificity of the practice. The means for this focus are specific exercises and projects in specific media. This course addresses structured, disciplined approaches to perceiving and forming in 3 dimensions. The purpose for this is to establish a common repertoire of skills for future making and thinking.

Materials and Supplies
The department organizes the bulk purchase of some of the materials for this course. This is of benefit to you by saving you money and procuring materials that can be difficult to find. By January the 22nd, pay the Cashier in Student Services Building $35 and let them know that it is for Art Supplies the Art and Design Department. Obtain a receipt from the cashier and turn it in to me.
Plan for up to an additional $50 for supplies you will need to purchase later.
