Fabrication and Sculpture

In this art/technology class, you will work in both the Innovation Lab and the Art Room to explore fabrication and sculpture.  Learn how sculpture, and 3d graphic design work hand in hand. Create projects using tools and techniques traditionally and digitally with Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Crosby. Whether you use paper, clay, found objects, laser cutting or 3d printing, you can make impressive creations in this class.

3d: A flat piece of paper (a drawing, a painting, a photo) is 2D. An object (a sculpture, a building, a car) is 3D. A 3d computer graphic is designed in three dimensions and can be manipulated on the screen.

Design: 

• v. to mark out, to plan, purpose, intend... 
• n. a plan conceived in the mind, of something to be done... 
• n. adaptation of means to end...
