3D Design Projects

I decided to post my projects from this semester a little differently this time. I organized them all inside of one picture, instead of having all of the pictures separated. I feel like this is a little less chaotic, which I like. So, first up are my 3d design projects. At the beginning of the semester, I was absolutely dreading this class, just because I knew I would be horrible at it. But, it quickly became one of my favorites, thanks to my classmates and my professor, who made the assignments fun. So, if you are planning on taking 3d, definitely sign up for Jarrod Houghton. He is awesome.

The first project was dedicated to point. We were to use fishing line and seed beads to create a sphere, have a part of it missing, and to incorporate gravity into it. To finish, we were to build a 10x10 box to set it inside of.

Next, was line. For this project we had a little more freedom....very little. We had to use 1/4'' thick sticks, and create either full cubes or parts of cubes and then make a sculpture out of it.

Next, was using planes. This was probably the most fun of all the projects. We had to find a child's toy and replicate it into planes. I chose a Piggy Bank and to use radial planes. We had to use 1/4'' MDF Board, make it at least 24 inches long, and paint it white.

Last, was our Self Portrait assemblage. This was also pretty fun, and the easiest of the projects, which I was thankful for by the end of the semester. We had to incorporate a light source and that was pretty much the only restriction. Mine was meant to represent the "Stages of Life", which is why I built a stage. (that and I used to sing a lot....on a stage). But, not really the stages, such as baby, teenage, adult, and so on. But the parts of your life that happen, that turn you into the person you are today. So, my assemblage consisted of: some Zeta things, my camera, my quote book, Nate and I's letter book, a microphone, and my marathon medals.

Overall, the class WAS tough, but I feel like I learned a lot. Especially about wood and cutting and sawing. Which I think just added a little bit to my character and helped me grow some. And, I got a B in the course, which after many all nighters, I was perfectly happy with.
