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

Grade: 8
