Students begin their bar designs:

Giovanni's Field Trip

The students had the opportunity to go to our client's establishment, Giovanni's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, and speak with the owners to better understand what they hope to see in a bar design. The class first took a trip to the Giovanni's in Lake Mary to take a look at the current bar, then traveled to the Giovanni's in Oviedo to study the space they are to designing for.

Conceptual

Conceptual artwork is art in which emphasis is placed on the processes of producing art objects rather than on the objects themselves, the creation is merely used to convey a message to the viewer.

For this assignment students were asked to assemble/create a conceptual piece that was in some way still related to their original object. Any medium could be used for this piece, including performance art.

Artists to look at include: Marina Abramović (rhythm 0), Joseph Beuys, Lauren Greenfield, Orlan, Gilbert and George, Shirin Neshat, Guerilla Girls, Andres Serrano, Chris Ofili, Nan Goldin, and Kiki Smith, among others.

Artists to look at include: David Haxton, Anthony Caro, Alexander Calder, and Jackie Winsor, among others.

Students, please discuss this lecture.
Do schools kill creativity? How? Why? What can be done?

What is your reaction to Sir Ken Robinson's lecture?

Abstract

Abstract art transforms the objects meaning and representation through use of texture, scale, shape, color, and form.

assignment one - representational art

don't forget to join our facebook group!!

Representational

Representational artwork is work that is modeled after an actual object or depicts something easily recognized by most people.

Artists to look at include Victor Spinski, Duchamp, Marilyn Levine, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Mapplethorpe, among others.

Students are asked to bring in an object that is important to them in some way, they are then asked to recreate the object using only paper, glue, and gesso.

Welcome to Summer 2008!

Welcome to Professor Reedy's Summer 2008 design 3d course!

This Blog will be used as forum to discuss projects, go over lectures, and ask questions to your Teaching Assistant (that's me, Patricia).

As you may know, at the end of every semester the class designs a sculpture for the needs of a particular client. In the past we have worked in conjunction with companies such as Hard Rock Cafe, Harley Davidson, and The Lexington Hotel.
You can view some of these projects on our sister site, Adlab.

This semester the students will have the opportunity to design a bar for Giovanni's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria.

All Students, please be sure to join the Design 3d Facebook group and check back to the blog often for discussions.

Until next time, Patricia.
