midterm presentation layout

Drawings, images, photographs required for the midterm presentation:

-All previous joint drawings (gridded-diagrams, network diagrams, 3d digital photos of joint movement, sections, concept diagrams) if necessary redrawn

-documented research for moment, memory and time: collected images, quotes, Xeroxes…

-Printed Text describing the idea (min 50 words, font size min 20)

-time machine drawing

-Axonometric, oblique process drawing (this will be the main drawing, probably 2 or 3 18x18” sheets)

-section collages of Xeroxed joints in various scales 100, 200, 300%

-For demonstrating sequencing:
Photograph the Volume of Jointed Tales Cube as described:
(All photography to be taken against neutral black background)
1. As a Sequence that records each step in the disassembly of the volume as a pure object.
a. Camera, volume, and light source to remain stable
b. Remove pieces one at a time and capture each moment
c. Each moment should show the volume and the displaced piece along its vector
d. Assemble sequence in Photoshop as a continuous strip (see Muybridge for reference)

2. As a Sequence that records each step of the disassembly by the body.
a. Camera and light source remain stable
b. Record each moment as the body performs with the volume
c. Each moment should show the body with the volume and the displaced piece in hand (wear something neutral, ex. Black clothes)
d. Assemble sequence in Photoshop as a continuous strip (see Muybridge for reference)

3. As an indexed sequence
a. -Disassemble cube
b. -Space evenly and sequence appropriately
c. -Assemble in Photoshop as linear indexing of the modules (see tree diagram)

4. Scan (or scan photocopies) all faces of Volume of Jointed Tales Cube and Wood Word Joints
a. -Assemble as unfolded cube

Print images for review, if the images are acceptable you will submit a
disk with all work after the presentation. If the photos are not accepted, this will be redone.

WO(OR)DPLAY #2 Cube of Jointed Tales
2D_10_11_07

Who:

Subject of this week is to construct COMBINATIONS of the 3 joints as moments in the cube in order to start the sequencing of Moment and Memory in Time mainly through model exploration.

What:

Re-write your text linking all your joints in a sequence- use your word joints as anchor for a tale – minimum 50 words
Re-asses the sequences of combinations based of your memory, moment research as a conceptual framework in a form of axonometric and oblique sketches.
Action/ Reaction Reveal/ Conceal Expectation/ Surprise

Construct COMBINATIONS of the joints: 1+2, 2+3, 3+1
Define their placement in the cube
Define the organizing logic/sequencing for the cube between COMBINATIONS

Continue drawing one drawing of combined axonometric (isometric, diametric, trimetric) and oblique projections. Use additional 18”x18” as needed
How:
Use only: 3 various size basswood sticks (thickness less than 1”) and 3 various size basswood sheets smaller thickness max ½”

Remember each drawing is an independent manifestation of your ideas.

Model making tips:
Measure twice before cutting,
Cut precisely
Use sharp saw, knives
Use sand paper often
Use a syringe to apply glue

The same drawing rules apply


When:
due on 10.15.07

thursday presentation


here is the layout for your drawings.


the focus will be on your ideas of presenting memory, moment and time through your joint, that you will formulate in words and in photographs demonstrating how your stories unfold.

monday class

tomorrow, i will be in studio earlier (around 12pm), since I am a guest critic at another studio presentation i will have to be gone from 4-6pm. It would be great if i can get to talk to some of you at that time. Please make a list and come earlier if you would like to ensure that i see you tomorrow.

thursday presentation

just a reminder, on Thursday we will have a presentation with a guest critic, so we need to push for a good presentation to get as much imput as possible. for presentation prepare:
1. written text describing the memory, time, moment concept (50 words min)
2. all the drawings: concept collages and sections (from 1st presentation), time machine, section collages, sequence drawings/photo montages, and axonometric/oblique process drawing...
3. all models of 3 joints (process and final), and the beginnings of the cube...

WO(OR)DPLAY #2 Cube of Jointed Tales

2C_10_04_07

“ A living language can be used for normal day to day purpose as prose. If you are good you may speak a wonderful prose. And if you are really good you can be a poet. But it is the same language, and its characteristics is that it has all these possibilities”

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

Who:

Subject of this week is to continue the sequencing of Moment and Memory in Time through model exploration, axonometric and oblique drawings.

What:

Write a text linking all your joints in a sequence- use your word joints as anchor for a tale – minimum 50 words

Complete your time machines

Create second xeroxed collage (perpendicular to the first)

Redraw 2 xeroxed collages (pencil and ink)

Construct a sequence of combinations (Min 3 combinations) based of your memory, moment research as a conceptual framework in a form of axonometric and oblique sketches.

Action/ Reaction Reveal/ Conceal Expectation/ Surprise

Continue drawing ONE drawing of combined axonometric (isometric, diametric, trimetric) and oblique projections. Use your time machine and your poems as a guide to the core ideas revealed through the joint.

Continue constructing the sequencing in the wood cube. Clarify according to the written text, and revise accordingly.

How:

Use only: 3 various size basswood sticks (thickness less than 1”) and 3 various size basswood sheets smaller thickness max ½”

Use Xerox collages and scaled section drawing overlaps, Xeroxed physical joints from all sides. Remember each drawing is an independent manifestation of your ideas.

Model making tips:

Measure twice before cutting,

Cut precisely

Use sharp saw, knives

Use sand paper often

Use a syringe to apply glue

The same drawing rules apply

When:

due on 10.11.07

All drawings and substantial cube model due for

the intermediate presentation/pin-up with a guest critic
