The study of 3D in Foundations II has been hugely enjoyable to me. It is quite a change after working in 2D for so long. The semester started out with lots of reading, and watching of videos. Finally we have gotten to the point where we are working on projects. This was the first one, and the goal was to take a 3D object, reduce it to 2D, and then return it to 3D. We took a photographic slide of an object, in this case a 52 Chevy pickup. We then projected the image onto paper mounted on a wall and traced the lines. We then took foam core and built a relief model from the drawing. A real brain twister, but hugely fun.

What fun and a great representation of the subject as well. Tinkering and problem solving can result in such wonderful expressions. You've given me an idea for anther project- thanks!
