Milestone Projects

Looking back at the semester as a whole, I've definitely learned a lot in this class. I've found another program to utilize for my future artworks which I am now more excited for. to wrap it up, let's look at the projects I've done:

For my first project, I decided to do an Ipod classic for my objectified response. It was my first time working with a 3d software and I was still learning the ropes so I did a simple object but also something that stuck with me from the movie because this was one of my favorite belongings growing up. I really liked how the screen turned out even with its simplicity because it brought back memories.

For my Mesh Mashup, the hardest part was definitely brainstorming what pieces would go with each other. You would think that adding literally anything together would be easy but the thought itself is overwhelming. You have to add in the factor of is it will it be visually pleasing, and is it available in Thingiverse? That's how I felt with this project. I had a brief idea and checked to see what was available to me and made it work. 

This project was probably my favorite out of all the projects. Coming up with my choice wasn't all to hard. I initially started with a more complicated version of my final which I later learned was too ambitious. The Final design was the perfect blend simplicity and complexity. Aside from the time consuming and experimental process of folding and glueing them together, seeing my carefully modeled paper-craft file come to life is definitely rewarding. 

Lastly, my Hybrid 3D model is the combination of all my past projects. With more tools to use in the program, we were able to create objects that were not only conceptual but visually pleasing. Having to incorporate a partner's design is part of that challenge of making the design work, in which I believe we were able to do. With two different design styles, we were able to come up with the idea of mixing organic with geometric forms. The idea was ancient vines wrapping around a monumental structure.

Taking this class definitely opened up new doors for my future art endeavours and I can't wait to experiment.
