3D Skills Project - Boo Radley's House from To Kill a Mockingbird

3D Skills Project - - Jail Cell.

So this my 3D Skills project. We read a chapter of a story about a man being held in a cell, then transfered to an interrorgation room. We had to make a model of either the cell or the interagation room. I chose the cell. The model is a 1/2" scale model and includes a bed that I soldered, my first time doing that.

Update coming soon.

I have been terrible about updating this, but soon I will post some pictures of my 3D skills project. I'm really proud of it so far, I just need to finish making the furniture that goes in it.

I'm also working on Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny for Scene Design, which is proving to be very tough. I'm finding that I'm doubting my ideas more and more, but the one I'm playing with currently could be really good.

Hopefully I will be finished with my 3D skills project later today.

3D Skills - - French Furniture

Here are some of the model pieces I've made for my latest project in 3D Skills. They are all in 1/2" scale, and are constructed with matte board, card stock, glue and clay.

The first piece is an antique French counter:

The second piece is a French cupboard:

The final piece is a French fauteuil:

A few days off...

Well, I'm headed to New York this weekend to see a bunch of shows. I may try to post some thoughts on them here when I get back, if I have the time.

First pass of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny is coming up. This pass is very rough, no color or texture just yet. I'm mostly exploring the space that the set is going to inhabit at each moment of the show. I'm very excited about this project though. i think it is going to be one of my best. Anne, my professor, says it's a real 'break-though' for me and I agree.

Advance Scene Painting Project.

This semester in Advance Scene Painting, we got to plan our own projects. My project is a stained glass window. I chose to do a stained glass window, because my grandfather used to make them as a hobby and I've always been fascinated by them. This project will be 4' in diameter and include a frame that I will make by using a CNC router, something I have never done, which will give the idea of a rose window. These two photos show some of my research.

The following are from the first couple hours of work on my project. The first image is the pattern traced onto Plexiglas and the next image is some of the glass being filled in with color.

I will continue to update with more pictures as I progress throughout the semester.
