Week 08 - Class canceled

Hello.

I am sorry to have to cancel this Mondays class. I have tried to find a subsititue, but was not able to find one. We will still be able to cover all the remaining material in the time left.

I would like to give you midterm grades next week. Please have the homework from week 6 and 7 on the wall next time we meet. 

As homework either correct and/or improve your object rendering from week 6 or create a new object created with the elements that we covered including the sphere.

Please post to this blog should you have any questions.

Please pass the information on so that everybody is aware that the class has been canceled.


Thanks, Thomas

Week 05

Homework:

-----> Look at assigment II. there was a mistake. One page 11x17 not two.

I.  4 pages.  Render 2 white cylinders lying on the ground perpendicular to one another
  • the arrangement on the page is up to you
  • both cylinders are lit by the same light source
  • fill the page with your composition
1 page: sun, top light
1 page: sun, side light
1 page: sun, diagonal light
1 page: local light


II.  1 page of 11x17 or similar size of a recognisable symmetrical object of your choice, rendered
  • use all current shapes to create the shape: flat surfaces, cylinders and cones.
  • all surfaces are matte
  • material: marker, pencil, chalk - in any configuration
  • include cut lines and graphics
  • the object may float, but remember to place a corresponding shadow underneath
  • light source of your choice:the goal is to make the form read well
III.  Photography assignment in two parts:
4 pages: take pictures of cylinders in the first assigment's configurations
3 pages or more: as needed to support the rendering of your object in the second assignment.
  • all print outs need to be black and white
  • use the shapes you build in the model class
  • create other quick shapes with paper and foamcore as needed
Handout links:
I increased the resolution of the scans. Please do not drag the images on your desktop -- use the download option to get the large images.

You have two weeks' time to finish the assigments, so please make them look good. Thanks!
