ART 131 : Three-Dimensional Design
This course investigates the construction of three-dimensional forms using a wide variety of materials including cardboard, clay, plaster, wood, and found objects. Emphasis is on the translation of an idea into tangible form. Inventive and personal solutions to problems are encouraged. Three hours critique and three hours studio per week. Instructional Support Fee applies. Gen. Ed. Competencies Met: Human Expression.
Course Outcomes
Through project work and critique, students will demonstrate their ability to:
1. Apply the basic elements of three-dimensional design, including line, plane, and volume in the creation of three-dimensional forms.
2. Apply principles of design such as proportion, scale, balance, emphasis, repetition, variation, harmony, and unity in the creation of three-dimensional forms.
3. Explore and identify various building materials, including wire, sheet material, clay, silicone rubber, and casting resin.
4. Use basic hand and power tools for constructing three-dimensional objects. Investigate and utilize digital modeling techniques and 3D printing technology to create three-dimensional designs.
Critique and evaluate three-dimensional objects, demonstrating the ability to articulate personal insights and assessments of design effectiveness.
