ARTS 114 : Introduction to 3D Design
My Work
Presented below are various projects I have spent ample time completing during my time as a student Interior Designer at Liberty University. This page displays specific projects from ARTS 114, Introduction to 3D Design.

Wire model javelin thrower
The objective of this project was to create a model out of wire that would display three elements and/or principles of art and design. The element line, and principles of balance, and movement are all displayed in this wire model that I created to represent my brother throwing a javelin. Expressive lines are curved, organic lines that often follow a shape and represent movement. Balance and structural integrity are also shown here. The person throwing the javelin must have proper footing to balance such a heavy object above his head while the wire model must also be positioned correctly in order to balance on its own.
Robot
The objective of this project was to design and create a robot that could balance and stand on it's own. This was achieved through several simple but necessary steps. First, a basic sketch (left) was created in order to visualize in general what the robot would look like. Next, supplies including cardboard, wire, fabric, beads, tulle and hot glue were gathered for assembly. The overall body of the robot is made from white cardboard and hot glue. The shirt is made out of fabric scraps and the skirt is made from tulle. I used random beads found in my house for the eyes and leftover wire for the hair and to make a hook that helps support the balance of the robot with string if needed.

Bas Relief Clay Tile
This project greatly demonstrated a variety of elements and principles. Right away it is easy to see the principle of balance through the use of symmetry. This is displayed through the equal amount of round balls on each side of the tile as well as the way the elements of line and texture are shown. If cut in half either horizontally or vertically, the tile would be symmetrical. The element shape is also demonstrated by the triangles and circles. Form is also shown as an element, especially in the final clay tile as the triangles are three dimensional making depth more obvious.
