Background & inspiration for the workshop
How nature reflects in design and art.
Take a photo from the nature or draw an image, just a line - tree, leaves, water or mayby a building. Using these images or part of the images in art or in woodworking as details or decorations or as a complete design of the object. Accept and utilize the technological development taking place in the world. Combine images, graphic design, 3D printing and machining.
The final product is the design of an object for which every group will present the concept. This object should evoke and illustrate the following statement - United in Diversity. It should tell about unity in diversity - what can bring people together, despite or thanks to differences.
There are 6 groups and 5 students in each group. Woodworking and graphic design studets will be mixed in groups. In every group there must be 2 students from woodworking and 3 students from graphical desing department. Every group implements one object.
Maximum size for the object is 2000 * 1000 * 1000mm. But it can be smaller or much smaller. The object must be made so, that people can sit on it. It must be made out of wood or woodboard material. The object must communicate in such way that it gather people together.
In the end of the workshop, every group will present the concept of the object. It can be in a digital or material form.
In digital form presentation must be still images, 3D models or videos
In material form presentation must be model in a size 1/5 or prototype in a size 1/1
