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)

08.02.2024

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 8th).

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.

Building on skills, knowledge and competencies developed in OBDF 210, this course introduces students to advanced tools for parameter-driven assemblies and algorithm-driven 2D and 3D models in CAD software, and how such tools might be integrated into studio practices across art, craft and design. In addition, this course continues the exploration of digital fabrications tools (such as 3D printers and computer numeric controlled machines) for the planning, visualization, and production of complex 3D objects. Weekly exercises and assignments are designed to develop students’ technical proficiency in Algorithmic and Parametric CAD and 3D modeling software. Students will produce projects through hands-on use of rapid prototyping technologies in combination with processes from other program areas. Milestone projects will traverse a range of advanced 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, cats!
