Final Assignment: Trophies

Our final assignment for the term is to make a trophy for someone whom we think deserves one. Using techniques and materials explored in class, we will make a trophy, give it to the recipient, take a picture, then install the trophies and photos in the glass case in Neuberger Hall for the month of December. Please remember to reference traditional trophies at least a bit, either in style, concept, color, etc.

                               

 

Instructables

Students were asked to go online and find directions to make a 3-D object of any kind.
Here's what they did (more to come):

Patrick Rock's Vortex Party

It was a real treat to visit Patrick's class and see what he & his students have been up to... a great collaboration. They were impressed with you guys, too.

Tuesday: Mold Making Demo

All, please be prepared for a fun and educational demo on mold making by bringing the following:
1) An empty plastic bottle or milk carton
2) Scissors
3) a simply-shaped object of little value, smaller than the carton/bottle that can be submerged in liquid/gel

Thanks for coming prepared

RACC Grant Proposals for the Portland Building

Each student will write a proposal for an installation in the Portland Building. This is an opportunity to understand how to get public funding for a project, and to explore site-specific installation

"The Installation Art Series features interactive and experimental media installations in a small space in the Portland Building’s lobby. Each installation is a month long and is selected through a juried process. The program presents challenging and diverse works that encourage the general public to re-examine its expectations and definitions of art through dialogue about the role of art in public spaces. With a modest honorarium, artists can share their work with a broad audience. If the accompanying "comment book" is any indication, the series is effective in achieving its aims to stimulate thought and provoke exchanges."

Wearable Art Project

This project is a chance to incorporate 3D elements interacting with the body, and hopefully distorting it. Just in time for Halloween.... however, we are not making "costumes"
Thanks to Hannah Jickling for the Paper Maché demo!
