MMU 3D model Drawing

The start of the week marked group X's turn to rotate around the tutorials in the other studios, whereas group Y were focused in on the refectory, doing what X had done the previous week. These rotated tutorials consisted of 3D model drawing, Measured drawing and Drawing moving images.

Today, we have 3D model drawing: Drawing in the third dimension!

Here be our tutor today! (no worries, I will try to get a better shot; either stalker style or proper portrait photographer style, I will find a way!)

apologies!

Right, 3D drawing. We were told to bring in an object that we would find interesting and would form the starting point for our models. I brought in a paper origami folded crane. First we did some sketches:

These sketches got us to vistually disect the piece, and in doing so we explore anything interesting and expand upon that. For me, I was taking my object apart to see it in pieces:

Then, with the development, we started to create the 3D models, a so called "sprue" of our product. There was a choice of materials for the models such as cardboard, wires, glue and paper card; personally I opted for the wires, taking my time to unwind some from the large roll and then starting my so called sculpture by winding the wire around and around and around and around and around...

It eventually ended up like this:

Then I had some idea of putting the paper crane within the wire one:

Ta-dah...
