FINA-F 101 Three-Dimensional Design

Instructor: Dave Rowe, all sections

Lecture

Course Description:

The visual dialogue between form and space is the primary concern of this foundation course in three-dimensional design. A heightened visual sensitivity for three-dimensional composition is a major objective of every project. You will utilize line, plane, and volume separately and in concert to construct three-dimensional forms and place emphasis on the relationship of the structural process to the form. The course will employ a variety of materials in the activation of form and space, such as wire, cardboard, clay, wood, and plaster. You will work with visual and structural relationships defined through additive and subtractive means: modeling, carving, and construction. 

Presentation Assignment:

You will be required to give a ten-minute presentation on a living contemporary 3D artist. This project will be presented through the second half of the semester.
