Spring 2015 Materials Modules


Fabric Manipulations (sections 04, 05, 06, 19, 20, 21)
This module will introduce experimentation with hand sewing and/or other techniques that can be used to manipulate fabric surfaces in order to achieve three-dimensional qualities.

 

Materials Investigations (sections 07, 08, 09)
This module introduces various strategies for material investigation and encourages non-traditional uses of conventional or other materials. Students will explore diverse materials that can be used for a variety of applications on objects and form for sculptural and functional use, as well as for the body and in architectural space.

Basic Model Making (sections 10, 11, 12)
Students will use basic model making materials such as blue/proto foam, foam core boards, paper, etc. to create three-dimensional forms.

Basic Digital 3D Modeling (sections 13, 14, 15)
This module introduces students to visualizing forms in space using the 3D modeling software Trimble SketchUp. This module is designed for students interested in digital experimentation or prototyping three-dimensional designs.

Wood (sections 22, 34, 24)
This module will introduce the basic properties, characteristics, sizes, and connection requirements of wood in its natural and man-modified states (lumber, plywood, etc.). Students will also learn a wide variety of basic tools to modify and manipulate this material.
