Research Assignment

If you are a 3D Design or Sculpture student and missed class last week, you missed this assignment... This is a short research assignment and is quite simple. Find five artists on this blog that you think are amazing and write a page for each artist describing why you like his or her work. Papers must be typed, single spaced, and use 12 point font. Feel free to use pictures, but be sure that your written text occupies more than half the page! If you have any questions, email me...

Raising the Bar...

Here are a few of the very best projects from 3D Design and Intro Sculpture this semester. Great Job!!!

Luis Corzo

Awesome Design!!!

When 12-year-old Max Wallack of Natick heard of WGBH’s Design Squad “Trash to Treasure” design contest, he was ready to give his best shot. He stole the show with his “Home Dome” innovation, which is primarily a shelter for the homeless or refugees made from plastic, wire and packing peanuts. This project addresses humanitarian need and it does it by removing non-biodegradable materials from our waste stream. The makeshift dwelling is in the form of a Mongolian yurt and features a built-in bed. For this innovative design, Max won $10,000, a Dell laptop, and a trip to Boston to work with engineers and see his design realized.

Marc Newson, Designer Extraordinaire

This is part one of a series of five videos. Numbers 2-5 should be click-able in this window once the video you are watching is finished. Be sure to watch them all. This is inspirational stuff...

Wind Powered Kinetic Sculptures

Fun with Electrodes...

Pop Culture History Lesson

This one goes out to my Tuesday/Thursday 3D Design students. Ah young padawn learners, the meaning of Blades of Glory, to truly know, first, know the adventures of Flash. Flash Gordon this is. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm.

Visual Art and Music Converge

Christian Marclay. Brilliant!!!

Fun with Legos

Cool Lego Creations

Honda Cog Spoof

"Honda Cog" spoof... (see "Honda Cog Movie" below)

The Powers of Ten

Since sculpture is primarily defined by the organization of space, this video seems quite appropriate...

Sony Bravia "paint" ad behind the scenes...

"Fell in Love With a Girl" video by the White Stripes. Great... Music, video, sculpture, animation all rolling into one...

Richard Serra interviewed by Charlie Rose, 58 min. Fantastic.

Honda Cog Movie
This recent Honda commercial uses no digital effects. It all happened as you see it, on the 606th take. This video, the "Truffle Shuffle", and the art of Fischli & Weiss are inspired by the ideas and work of Rube Goldberg.

Dont miss this...!

Statuephilia: Contemporary Sculptors at the British Museum, featuring Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley, Noble and Webster, Ron Mueck, and Marc Quinn. Awesome work. Awesome video clips.
