On your assigned date – you will give a 10-15 minute powerpoint presentation to the class on a 3D artist from the below list.
Please design a PowerPoint presentation of 10-20 images of their work, aesthetic and methods. One brief slide on the artists background is enough – focus on their work, methods, materials, style, etc.
Please cite each image with the following information: “Title” Medium. Date. Size
Please put one slide at the end to cite where you got the information.
You may include one 5-10 min video in your presentation.
Students in the 3D Design classes at PBSC are excited for the opportunity to participate in the Yamaha Cares Upcycling Project. The project, supported by the Nat King Cole Generation Hope, gives students recycled guitars, art supplies and the time and space to create unique assemblage sculptures. Using methods of addition, subtraction and construction, 3D Design students work with their professors to learn about not only the history of assemblage and three-dimensional form, but also concepts surrounding narrative and their own personal experience with music. Students will have the learning opportunity to collaborate with Music and Film Departments as well, to share and document the process of making a new aesthetic object out of the old.
In groups of 2-3, teams will decide what kind of materials they would like to use and what the vision of the project is. Planning is an important part of this.. but also using found objects to inform your artistic vision.
We will have music students pop in to play a short musical piece as well as talk about their personal connection to their instrument as a vehicle for creativity.
Hello students! I’m excited to be teaching 3D Design again – we are going to delve into the creative realms of many mediums of contemporary sculpture and 3D Design. We will meet IN PERSON at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17 to go over everything you need to know.

This project challenges the following course outcomes:
Apply Art Elements and Principles to the design of three-dimensional forms.
Create three-dimensional works that incorporate texture, color, light and negative
space as a vital part of the form.
Demonstrate ability to transpose from two-dimensional design concept to three dimensional form.
Demonstrate an understanding of additive, subtractive, and constructive methods
used to create three-dimensional works
Assignment guidelines:
Using paper only, build, add, subtract and construct a form. This form should be representational and small in scale. Minimum 3″ all around, maximum 12″ all around.
Paper only – cardstock, drawing paper, newsprint, watercolor paper, paper of any kind.
Make an edition of 10
Principles of Design to consider:
Unity and Variety; Scale and Proportion and Repetition and Rhythm
This project challenges the following course outcomes:

Create three-dimensional works that incorporate texture, color, light and negative
space as a vital part of the form.
Demonstrate ability to transpose from two-dimensional design concept to threedimensional form.
Demonstrate an understanding of additive, subtractive, and constructive methods
used to create three-dimensional works.
Assignment guidelines:
Using cardboard only, build, add, subtract and construct a form. This form can be non-representational, representational or abstract. It must have minimum dimensions of 3′ x 2′ x 6″. Can be larger.
Principles of Design to consider:
Unity and Variety; Scale and Proportion and Repetition and Rhythm
Visual Elements to consider:
Shape, Form, Texture
We will not be adding color to this project as we will explore color specifically in other projects.
What can you DO with only the original color of the cardboard?
