3D Design Art Display


3D Design
Wood Sculptures

We are excited to have the 3D Design class exhibit their work in the Library.

Below is a description of the assignment courtesy of Cynthia Minet:

The assignment was to use only one entire 2 x 4 inch x 8 foot board, and to use it in its entirety, except for small cut-off pieces and sawdust, (although some used even the sawdust).  They were to construct a free-standing sculpture that illustrates one dominant principle of design. Students chose to represent repetition, emphasis, symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, movement/rhythm, scale, unity and variety, and economy. 


The students learned to use the wood working tools, including the miter saw, jigsaw, nail gun, power sander, band saw, table saw, drill press, drill, clamps, and hammers and chisels. Much of the project wouldn't have been possible without the tools purchased by the MC MakerSpace.
