WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT: Drawing in 2D

-
Assignment: 

Exercise: Using this reference image, draw these shapes in Rhino. Remember to keep the 'project' and 'osnap' features on. Use the 'text' command to note the various ways of approaching one shape, create iterations (copies) of each piece of work as you get stuck and start again, or if you find multiple ways to do the same thing. 

Journal: As always, take screenshots of work throughout, and let us know in your blog posts what you learned / what you found challenging.

Due: Email link to your posts by 8am Monday Sept 26.

Project Due:  November 6, 11:59 pm Week 1 //  Selection Due: Oct 2 3, 11:59 p m Assignment Description: We are going to reverse engineer an existing object via 3D modeling. In other words, we will each be creating a Rhino model of an existing object. Your first task: select an object that is is complex or made from multiple parts. “mechanical’ objects are excellent for the reason that they are inherently made up of several components that make up the assembly. For example: An ipod or Mp3 players, which have no moving parts are not the best choices. CD players, sink faucets, door hinges, clock mechanisms, and ski bindings are better because they contain moving parts that interact with each other.   Assignment Requirements: 1.) Select THREE objects (you will be choosing one, it is better to have several options in the beginning) ***Selection Guidelines: a.) Device must be "dissectible". You have to be able to take it apart. b.) Both external and internal parts must be measur

PROJECT 1: Surface Design / Mosaic

-
  Due: October 11, 11:59 pm: Week 1 // Due Sept 26, 8am:   Tune in.  Search for / notice in your surroundings, surface patterns or ornamentation that you are drawn to, photograph the items, and if possible bring physical objects to class. These can be floor or wall tiles, quilts, couch or textile patterns, as well as references from artists you love or places you have been. Consider the compilation of these patterns in unison.  Create a blog post with 5 examples of surface patterns. Tell us what you find interesting about them, why you were drawn to them.  Week 2  // Due Oct 2, 11:59 pm:   Think, Plan, Sketch:  Create a 'mood board' of your project that you wish to develop. Working with the themes pointed out from your pattern selections (tonality, style, what you found interesting about the patterns you collected). Your mood board will include:  Precedent work / references you are inspired by Physical sketch of your idea. You may begin to draw layers of how your project may b
