Week 2 (First Week) Tasks

To be completed during Week 2 (First Week) Studio

• Create a Blog for Representation Studio at www.blogger.com. Use your name and the Course Code ARCH1390 to title your blog. E.g: yournameARCH1390-2010.blogspot.com

• Provide your name and blog address to your tutor, which will be linked to the Course Blog.

• Choose 3 Student Representatives for the class, one from each tutorial group.

Folding and Modelling

• The main task for today is a folding and modelling exercise, the idea is to take something you make, and accurately represent it using modelling software.

• You will each be given two sheets of A4 paper to create two different objects with. You will need to creatively fold your paper to make an interesting form (think spatially), with a fair level of complexity.

• The paper can be cut or ripped, but MUST remain a single piece of paper.

• Once you have folded your two distinct objects, you will have to accurately model your objects in a 3D modelling application (Sketchup, 3Ds Max, etc).

• You will need to model 3 folded paper objects in total, which include 2 of your own, and one from another student in your tutorial group. (I suggest you do someone else's first, so you don't have to try to get someone else's model outside of studio).

• Once you have modelled your objects, take two image captures from different views of your digital model, and using the camera on your phone, take photos of the physical objects that correspond with your digital models.

• Your digital images and photos should look EXACTLY the same! Post your images to your blog in pairs to see the comparison.
  

• Post to your blog: 2 digital images and 2 photos of each object, including the name of the student whose object you modelled. (Total outputs: 6 digital images and 6 photos of three separate objects. Remember to post your images in corresponding pairs and label your images).

Extra

• Begin Independent Study for Week 3.

• If you moved onto independent study for week 3 during studio, and use the provided laptops, be sure to save your creatures from "My Documents\My Spore Creations\Creatures" so you can load them onto your own computers and continue with the independent study for Week 3.
