Introduction

Assignment 1 Assignment objective Do 5 3D clay models. Each consists of 3 cuboids including all axis (x,y,z)

Grading Feedback

The model is nice but the CD made it look 2d from some angles

Self Assessment

The composition could have been better. I should have included more axis and added elements to make it more 3d.

Grade 7

Rectilinear volumes

Class work 1 Assignment Objective Do 5 3D clay models. Each consists of 3 cuboids including all axis (x,y,z)

Grading Feedback

Models are in all axis but they are repeated and no variety.

Self Assessment

Could have focused more on the variety of the models.

Grade 7.5

Assignment 2 Assignment Objective

Design a staircase leading to nowhere,explore ways of using stairs.

The non-functional creative staircase is to be composed of ONLY rectilinear forms as building units.

Grading Feedback Model is 3d and neat but it could have been better if it was lifted up

Self Assessment

Composition could be more explored,I could have added height and included more axis

Grade 7.5

Curvilinear volumes

Class work 2 Assignment Objective Model 5 compositions , each one is composed of 3 3D curvilinear shapes involving all axis (x,y,z)

Grading Feedback Fake connections, poor neatness and no variety in axis proportions

Self Assessment

I could have been more neat in the assignment, used better connections

Grade 6

Assignment 3 Assignment Objective

Inspired by Oskar Schlemmer design a curvilinear figurine expressing motion.

Grading Feedback The motion is very good but the model is poorly executed and the figurine is irrational

Self Assessment Could have done a neater model. and explored it more but the motion was good

Grade 7

Recti-curvilinear volumes

Class work 3 Assignment Objective

Model 5 clay models each formed of 3 pieces to form (cluster, grid , radial, central and linear) using recticurvilinear shapes

Grading Feedback

Poor neatness and extremely poo Connections. Rejected shapes and repitition.

Self Assessment

classwork objective wasn't understood very well and this was clearly reflected on the models.

Grade 6

Grid

Linear

Cluster

Centralized

Radial

Assignment 4 Assignment Objective

You are required to design and model a functional curvi/recti vase. For reference and inspiration, you can refer to the works produced under postmodernism – 1980’s.

Grading Feedback The model is good and the balancing ball added to it but the elements added in the background made the original model vivid.

Self Assessment

I was trying to match the postmodernism aesthetics in the background but I could have done it simpler than this.

Grade 8

Fragments

Class work 4 Assignment Objective Do 5 geometric shapes and cut them into parts then cut each model's fragments to form 5 fragmented models

Grading Feedback poor connections neatness

Self Assessment

and

poor

The models didn't meet the requirements. which could have been better understood

Grade 6

Assignment 5 Grading Feedback This assignment received a good feedback. The method of fragmenting the image was good, putting my picture as a background wasn't a very good idea as the fragments camouflaged so they appeared as 3D.

Self Assessment The pictures used in the origami could have been better as almost they were all pieces of the eyes only.

Grade 8

Planar construction

Class work 5 Assignment Objective Create 4 planar models to show (spicy,cocacola,dark) Grading Feedback

Poor neatness and connections but expressions are various

Self Assessment

Although the models were not neat and could have had more variety but I think I expressed the words in a good way

Grade 7

Spicy

Dark

Cocacola

Assignment 6 Assignment objective Using planar elements, you are required to create a model of a bird. Your expression can be realistic, semi-realistic, or abstract.

Grading Feedback

Very good execution and use of materials but the white and red flowers would wilt so they were not the best choice.

Self Assessment The use of plants was a good choice in this assignment but the white flowers could have been replaced with another plants that wouldn't wilt quickly.

Grade 9

Classwork 6 Assignment Objective

we listened to a play list of 20 songs of different genre and we expressed our modes for each song in 20 different models with wires

Grading Feedback No variety in models and they are not neat or expressive

Self Assessment Models were not so expressive and they could have been done in a neater way also I didn't focus on the difference in their shapes

Midterm-Exam

Midterm Exam Assignment objective We were given 6 words to use random materials at home and represent them(Toktok-SiriInelastic-Disney-Salty-silent)

Grading Feedback

Models are good,especially Toktok but they are not representative

Self Assessment Although the models are neat but I think I didn't express the words in a good way

Grade 70

Toktok

Siri

Disney

inelastic

Silent 1

Silent 2

Salty

Extra classworks

Break the rules Assignment Objective

We were given 20 rules to break by making a single block of plasticine

Grading Feedback Very good model and expressive

Self Assessment The materials are creatively choosen but the overall form could have been more creative and involving the axis more

Grade 9.5

Random sculpture Assignment Objective

We were asked to choose blindfolded from 3 different random materials we have to create a random sculpture

Grading Feedback

Very nice composition and the ID was a good addition but plasticine is not neat

Self Assessment

The abstract shape created by wires is good but the plasticine models could have been more explored and be cleaner

Grade 8.5

Projects

Mobile Sculpture Assignment objective Using a variety of elements, you are required to carefully design mobile sculpture that is both kinetic and in equilibrium.

Grading Feedback

Static motion and model neads exploration

Self Assessment Model could have been more developed and motion wasn't good at all as it was only spinning so it could have been much better

Grade 80

The Cutting Corner Assignment objective

Select a corner for which you are to design and compose a 3D artistic installation exploring and expressing you creative vision

Grading Feedback

The composition perfectly represent what we learned in the course, planar, curvilinear and dynamic compositions and it fits the corner while creating shadows

Self Assessment

Very good details and poping up when the door opens is good but the model and neatness could have been more developed

Grade 94.7

Door opened

Door closed
