UNIT IIIA: Points, Lines, Planes, and Volumes<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE: Introduction of three-dimensional space conceived as a vocabulary of points, lines, and planes defining actual and implied elements.<\/p>\n

PROJECT: We came in millions, we came in droves – 3D Elements of a broken cube<\/p>\n

PROCESS:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a 6\u201d cube out of chipboard.<\/li>\n
  2. Slice a section of it off, and re-attach the section in a new orientation.<\/li>\n
  3. Orient your object and create an axonometric drawing of your cut cube from this view.<\/li>\n
  4. Using tracing paper, make a template of just the points (corners).<\/li>\n
  5. Using your template, make at least ten layouts of just the points on paper.<\/li>\n
  6. Connect the points with straight lines in different combinations to create new compositions.<\/li>\n
  7. Using your new drawings recreate three of them in 3D using lines, then planes, and finally volumes, changing materials with each iteration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
