DDA 500, From Virtual to Physical
This semester-long project
consists of conceiving, researching, designing with Maya software,
and physically producing one larg medium-to-large-scale three-dimensional artwork. For the purposes of this course,
"medium-to-large-scale" here means larger than approximately 2 feet cubed. For very large artworks, a scale model of this size may suffice. Design and production of the artwork may use any combination of techniques presented in this course along with any other appropriate techniques. The artwork you produce
should, of course, be artistically substantive.
It should also have valid reasons for being the size it is.
The production of each project will be divided into two stages. The first stage consists of conceiving, researching, and beginning to model your project. The second stage consists of completing the modeling and fabricating your project.
As you conclude your project in the final weeks of the
semester, you will write an set of artist's statements and finally install and exhibit your completed projects.
