Name, Place, Animal, Thing
FNDT 145 Designing with Image + Time
Responding to a game of ‘Name, Place, Animal, Thing’ students in this studio course created stop-motion animations as their final project. Students used iterative design processes to communicate their narrative arcs through various analog, spatial and digital formats. By designing images, character triptychs and storyboards, students demonstrated the ability to visualize, plan and execute compelling stories, that also highlighted their understanding of formal design elements and principles.
Soft Sculpture Assemblage
FNDT 164 Visual Arts Core
Free to explore whatever ideas that are on their mind, while researching how materials that don’t necessarily belong work together, each student* created sculptural pieces that began as soft before morphing into multi-media pieces (and observational drawings). Upfront in presence, they lean, drape, stand, slump, or rest through the consideration of materials that are forgiving, flexible, spongy, malleable, easily sewn, woven, knitted, punctured, stuffed, knotted, braided, and twisted, while ask viewers to imagine how they came into reality and what meaning they fabricate.
