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.
Stage 1: due Mar. 19 (Session 8)
The first stage of your project consists of conceiving, researching, and beginning to model your project. On the due date, hand it:
Drawings, sketchs, and/or physical maquettes of your artwork
A written verbal description of the ideas or issues your artwork is addressing
Preliminary modeling in Maya of your artwork
All files should be handed in on a CD or DVD disk. Any physical materials should also be handed in.
