Class Ideas-Rep 1 & 2
Representation & Analysis-Entire year
Craft & Making (( Exploration and research))
Ability to develop and employ tools and techniques for:
Drawing, seeing, making in a critical manner
Tools:
Media shifts-cad, model, sketch, drafted
Relations between representation and experience.
Exchanges between design, history, materials through a creative process
Observation, documentation, interpretation, proposition
Fall:( Laptop Requirement?)
Sketching-hand and eye control and exchange
Measured Drawing-Measuring, Section,orthographics, perspective, (all on
the computer or partially)
Modelling-plaster, paper, assemblies, formworks
CAD/ 3d modelling ( Rhino, Sketchup)
Making a work to be occupied or used that is developed through
transformations of scale, material, technique.(e.g the "big egg" that goes
from sketch to drawing to plaster to scaled and fabricated.
Freedom to develop and expectation that the work is developed through a
variety of tools and techniques.
look at interiors, sculpture, installation art, architecture
Spring:
Representation (Communication) and Analysis ( Critique)
((Effective and provocative presentations))
Working backwards from a ideal or goal ( e.g. book about, drawing about, "
client needs to have a x about...") a thing or requirement is established,
with high expectations of craft.
Analysis-critique, interpretation and transformation.
of a place, a site, a work.
(( exhibition of a important work in a particular space, where there is a
hypothetical client dictating certain expectations.)
Look at examples of the means which arch and interiors are communicated (
individual research programs.)
Look at the works themselves
look at photography, painting
model photography, renderings, discuss when and why one should be made.
Discuss minimal/ maximal
