Pictures Of My Design Projects

         In my design class, the teacher give us bunch of options to go with for the final project and I choose to go with linear study of hand. The model is based on the measures of my ACTUAL hand... I assure you that my hand is not quite as creepy as the picture shown









     This structure, created by me, is called "Mobile" and defined as follow; "A mobile is a type of kinetic sculpture (kinetic mean "potential energy"), constructed to take advantage of the principle of equilibrium. A succinct definition of the term “mobile” in a visual art sense could be a type of kinetic sculpture in which an ensemble of balanced parts capable of motion are hung freely in space but which never come into contact with each other."

    The front three objects are "freestanding" which mean can stand as alone and free movement. The ones in the back with the black rings are actual mobile.


Here are the objects that I designed.



      Mobile structure is pretty fun to play with once you understand the principle of equilibrium and how to balance dozens of objects.

Pictures from my Drawings and Designs (3-D objects)

 
"Laocoon And His Sons"

Laocoon, a priest, warned the Trojans about the Greeks and their gift, Trojan Horse. The Gods was upset and decided to punished him, sending down two snakes to devour Laocoon and his two sons.
Unfinished drawing but I'm not going to because this one took lots of my time and I have other things to attend to.
My 50/50 (positive/negative) project. The little one on the right is a mockup, or mock-up, is a scale or full-size model of a design or device. The one on the left is the final product, with modified method.
The "Negative Space," in art, is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image.
This is my Dominate/Sub-dominate project. An project that must include a Line, Plane, and Volume while one of them must act as dominate object and other as sub-dominate. As extra credit, one of three elements must act as the base... Nailed it.
I'm pretty proud of this one; my midterm project. I called it a "Hourglass Tower." The midterm project must included everything that I learned in class at the time; which are Line, Plane, Volume, Positive/Negative Space, Proportions, Curvilinear, and the most difficult one of all - Balance.
Curvilinear mean "curved line or consist of curved lines"
There are three principals in Balance; Symmetry (equal weight balance), Asymmetry (one side weight more than other but held up fine), and Rational (Multiple supporting) . For my "Hourglass Tower," I argued it should be either Symmetry or Asymmetry depend on your perspective.
I got an A for my midterm!
Thank for viewing and there will be more pictures to come!
