Introduces concepts, processes, and studio practice in 3D making. Examines the elements and principles of 3D making, including mass, volume, line, plane, and texture. Hands-on experimentation offers students an opportunity to develop skills to define 3D form, express ideas through it, and solve visual problems. Students experiment with additive, subtractive, and substitutive material processes while leveraging both traditional craft techniques and digital fabrication. Focuses on developing a practical understanding of the relationship between material, form, function, aesthetic and context, and a vocabulary to successfully articulate concepts and insights during discussions and critiques.
