Today's Class- The morning class had left the 3D room a bit of a disaster, but the students were prepared and cleaned things enough to make use of the tables. Today we began our final project of the semester, large scale inflatable sculptures. This will take us through the end of the semester, not far away.
How to make this up- Everyone was present tonight and is caught up, but in case people want to review what we accomplished... The first step was I had everyone do at least 5 pencil sketches, one each of 5 animals of their choice. I had brought in a set of wildlife encyclopedias to use as a source, but any images can be used.
The next step was to choose one of those sketches to expand into a small 3D model, using the original source photo and constructing it with bristol board. Above, pencil sketches of some animals. Below, 3D model of a penguin.
Homework- The completed scale installation sculpture (plaster) is due at the beginning of class on May 3, 2017. At that time we will critique and grade the results.
The completed inflatable sculpture will be due on May 10, 2017, which is our final class meeting of the semester.
When we left the worktables had been cleaned. The classroom sink on the other hand, we left that as we found it.
For next class 5/3/17- We will critique the scale installation sculptures then continue our work on the Final Project. Bring clear plastic drop cloth, clear plastic sealing tape, scissors, and your plans for the inflatable sculpture. Students have the option of working together on one inflatable, or each working on one by themselves. They will not be inflated until the following week.
