p r o j e c t 1

an introduction to seeing as designers and understanding compositions. an investigation of two-dimensional compositional images taken from three-dimensional images. a development of hand drawn skills and craft as well as iteration-based process of intuition, problem solving, and lateral thinking.

p r o j e c t 2

an extension of understanding basic compositions through three-dimensional exploration. recogntion of three-dimensional objects and multiple viewpoints. transforming two-dimension into three dimension. exploration of shadows in composition. understanding the development of ideas from exercising judgment on a situation and project context.

p r o j e c t 3

recognize the space of three-dimension rather than just the object. understanding development of ideas of what is essential, while practicing judgment on situations. understanding the meaning of lines and line weights. analyze places and reconstruct them. understand design as a search and discovery process that relate to final products. design things that communicate to the existing structures and are appropriate to that structure. working collaboratively in teams and coordinating information between team members and adjacent teams.
