Objects

  In this week's OBDF 200 class, students have been tasked with selecting 3 objects to reverse-engineer and eventually reconstructing through Rhino 7 a CAD software program.  Although, I'm already fixated on just working on a single object mostly because of its underlying structure and mainly its circuit component. I would be reverse engineering a voxel-styled USB video game controller. I do think it's complex enough to work on and has a worthwhile form to study. I'm mainly interested in recreating the circuit pattern, and I do acknowledge its complex angles, I may spend some considerable time recreating this part. Back-up Object: I think this clip is equally as challenging as the controller, I usually stray from curved angles. 

     "Surface Design encompasses the colouring, patterning, and structuring of fibre and fabric. This involves creative exploration of processes such as dyeing, painting, printing, stitching, embellishing, quilting, weaving, knitting, felting, and paper-making."  - Surface Design Association, Candace Edgerly  It is a technique commonly used by artists to manipulate any form of surface.  In this week project for OBDF 210C, we would be briefly looking into surface design and some artists that utilize this process in their works. Painting A recent example of a surface design I recently had an opportunity to witness was created by Simone Elizabeth Saunders. Her diasporic art series entitled "unity", was featured at Contemporary Calgary from Nov 2021 - Jan 2022.  Unity is a series of uplifting portraits of black women illustrated in a manner similar to tarot cards evoking ideas of magic and empowerment. visually appropriating Alphonse Mucha's greater arcana, but rem
