Pale Blue Project: Week Four: 3D

Week Four

This week we focused on 3D / architecture. We see 3D all of the time. From buildings ,statues, vehicles and people. Its one of the many art forms we see everyday. 3D objects and art is grounded in our life that we just accept it. We humans have many shelters over the years of living on Earth. They hold multiple purposes and are made been made stronger with each incarnation.

This week was also the final set of visual language to research, from and texture. Form 3D object. It is the outer shape of art, object and person. A form can be very basic or very complex. It can give an object unique characteristic and have great personality. Texture is what the art is made from. It could be smooth, rough, soft, tough, dry or wet. The texture is very important for separating work from the rest. If the art is made from an bizarre object then it is more unique.

On Tuesday we were asked to look around Greenwich and roughly sketch pieces of architecture that inspired us for our own work. We then took those sketches and made our own light sketches of shelters that we'll make later. During Thursday we all chose one of our sketches to make with sticks with other arts and crafts materials. I don't think mine came out good enough unfortunately but there some really impressive models that other people made. On Saturday we were finally able to build our shelters in groups of four. Overall it turned out really well all things considered. It passed all of the tests and was quite abstract.

In future projects I hope I can design better looking shelters then this.
