BACK TO CAMPUS

13.02.2024

Great news! My family all tested negative for covid, and have no symptoms. Therefore, we will be returning to our regular on-campus class this week.

See you there!

CLASS ONLINE THIS WEEK
(VIA TEAMS)

06.02.2024

Hi class.  Unfortunately my 6-month-old son, Jamie, has tested positive for COVID.  This means that I must quarantine, so I will be hosting class online, via MS teams this week (February 6th).

If you do not have access to a laptop or PC with a microphone and speakers/headphones, that is capable of running Rhino 6/7/8, you must join class from the computer lab we normally meet in.  Otherwise, you are free to join from home on your own equipment.

Join our class meeting here.

This course introduces students to the use of industry standard CAD (Computer Aided Design) software and Digital Fabrication tools (such as 3D printers and computer numeric controlled machines) for the planning, visualization, and production of 3D objects across a breadth of mediums and practices. Weekly exercises and assignments are designed to develop students’ technical proficiency in CAD and 3D modeling software. Students will produce projects through hands-on use of rapid prototyping technologies in combination with studio processes within art, craft and design studio areas. Milestone projects will traverse a range of intermediate-level conceptual and technological topics relevant to practices and discourses in art, craft, design and technology.

Prepare yourself for an extraordinary semester.  Yay, art!  Yay, design!  Yay, craft!  Yay, cats!
