Introduction To 3D Design
Homework 1: ECS
Assignment Objective:
Create a cube and a sphere using electronic waste.
Professor’s Feedback:
The compositions were good. The sphere gives a great affect in lighting and is made using creative materials.
Personal Reflection:
I enjoyed experimenting with this new and interesting material.
Grade: 8.5/9

02 Rectilinear Volumes
Classwork 1
Assignment Objective:
Create 4 rectilinear compositions using 3 elements each.
Professor’s Feedback:
The compositions had good axis. Neatness was good but could be better.
Personal Reflection:
I enjoyed the assignment but found it difficult to create different compositions.
Grade: 7 5
Homework 2: Bird BNB
Assignment Objective:
Create a functional bird house using rectilinear geometries.
Professor’s Feedback:
The triangular opening side was good however the composition needed to be more 3-Dimensional
Personal Reflection:
I enjoyed the assignment and liked photographing the bird house outside.
Grade: 5.5

03 Curvilinear Volumes
Classwork 2
Assignment Objective:
Create 4 curvilinear compositions using 3 elements each.
Professor’s Feedback:
Neatness was good.
2 models had a similar approach.
Personal Reflection:
I enjoyed the assignment and found the different curvilinear elements interesting to composition.
Grade: 7.5

Recti-Curvi Volumes
Classwork 3
Assignment Objective:
Create 5 recti-curvi compositions using more than 3 elements each.
Professor’s Feedback:
Neatness was good. The linear composition was creative. The grid composition elements had good sizes.
Personal Reflection:
I found the element arrangement types very interesting and using them made the compositions interesting
