DESIGN PORTFOLIO

This project's objective was to demonstrate how people and nature are interconnected and coexist. When creating this project, my teammates Leah, Sophia, and I considered the notion that nature never ceases to exist, and the fact that when a plant is dying next to a very green, very alive plant, as depicted in our cite, it meant that both plants were sharing their nutrients with one another, especially the dying plant.

This project taught us the significance of caring for nature and how beautiful it can be, not just by observing it but also by comprehending its life cycle.

02: Topological Transformation

The goal of this assignment was to use multiple representations of a single object to convey its essential nature. A series of models were created; a horizontal replica, a vertical replica, an egg crate replica, and a skin replica, each representing a different aspect of the original. Overall, this project gave me a chance to get better at my craft and drawing skills, as shown by how important it was to make 2D and 3D drawings of the object, which helped me understand it better.

PROJECT 03: CREATING PATTERN, COLOR AND TEXTURE

In this assignment, you were required to produce three boards that unified thought pattern, color, and texture.

Board 1 illustrates the composition of the same design in three distinct ways: detached, touching, and overlapping.

Board 2 displays the use of a color wheel, with three main colors and three secondary colors employed. And last, for board 3, the assignment was to create texture by folding three pieces of paper and applying color to the unfolded model and final fold using the same colors as board 2.

Each student was asked to select a textile from the selections provided by the professor for this assignment. The textile I choose was created by Gunta Stolzl in 1924 at the German Bauhaus. For the project every student was require to create; six 2D Analysis Diagrams of Textile, one 2D Construction, one 3D Model, four Orthographic Drawings, one Axonometric Line Drawing, one Axonometric Line Drawing with Tone/Shadow, and six 3D Analysis Diagrams of 3D Model.

This Project was very time consuming, but I'm grateful for everything I was able to learn. My drawing and handicraft skills were utilized, and the time and work I invested were well worth it. Upon viewing my final result, I really feel proud of it.

PROJECT 05: CREATING A PLACE

MAN WITH A GUITAR

1912

PABLO RUIZ Y PICASSO, (SPANISH, 1881-1973)

In 1908 Pablo Picasso and George Braque introduced a new approach. They began to divide their themes, which included human figures, landscapes, and still life, into independent lines and overlapping planes. The visuals evolved into purposefully ambiguous combinations of quasi-abstract forms that required decoding. By the end of 1908, this new style had been labeled “cubist.”

The Man with Guitar painting was completed by Pablo Picasso in the summer or early autumn in 1912 in Les Clochettes, a home Picasso rented in Sorgues, near Anaugural in the south of France. It was later included in the Inaugural Surrealist show, which took place in November 1925 at Galerie Loeb in Paris. It is unknown whether Picasso had any say in the selection of this work. But Andre Breton the French poet and surrealist leader, liked the visual ambiguities of Picasso’s cubist paintings, which had lost none of their capacity to shock and befuddle the public by the next decade.

For example, the subject of this painting can be understood by positioning the identifiable pieces next to one another within the noncombination’s severely shallow space, its volumes flattened into a scaffold-like structure of lines and gently molded surfaces. The vertical canvas alludes to the conventional portraiture format. Although all features are missing, the ivory trapezoid in the upper center implies a face. Picasso’s visual shorthand for the guitar aids recognition; the key at the upper neck, the shaded arc of the sound hole, and the vertical lines of the strings. The dish carrying a swirling dissert, the composition’s most recognized element, lends a surprising sent of brilliant color to the typically gloomy cubist palette.

Painting

This project shows the process of abstracting a painting and focusing on its most distinguishing characteristics which led to the production of a bas relief. The bas relief illustrated how depth played an important role in the overall composition of the artwork. The final 3D Site Construction conveys depth through distortion and height, continuing the notion of abstraction that was introduced before.

PROJECT 06: MAKING SPACE

After the completion of project 5, the section model served as the landscape upon which project 6 was to be built. As part of project 6, a space was to be designed in accordance with the specifications of Audoxia, a fictional metropolis. Throughout the course of this task, numerous perilous obstacles were encountered, such as imagining what Audoxia may seem like on the site, completing the drawing, creating the final model, and much more. This final project turned out to be the greatest project assigned for the entire semester because it was comprehensively demanding and provided the opportunity to gain some insight into an architecture career.

SIGNIFICANT ARTIST

This project's objective was to enlighten students on a variety of artists and designers from around the world. Every week, different student groups would prepare a presentation in which they would discuss the artist that had been assigned to them. In addition, at the end of each week, each student was given an assignment to write a reflection paper on the presentation and the artists. My classmates Jack, Olivia and I were tasked with discussing and presenting the artist George Nakashima.

CRAFTING CUBES & CYLINDERS

During the course of this semester, the construction of cubes and cylinders from a variety of materials became crucial. This project provided various new materials and procedures that facilitate the development of essential abilities. Ultimately, this recurring job enhances craftsmanship, comprehension of plans, sections, elevations, and axonometrics, as well as design abilities.
