Project updates



A few updates for this week! I successfully printed the first half of the project. The print took roughly 14 hours and required no supports other than a brim. Because of this, the print turned out to already smooth and needed no further sanding or prep. This made my life so much easier, and the job much easier for the printer as well. I think that this is incredibly uncanny, and especially because it is to scale it is very strange.

I also feel that the4 hardware on the print will also work well with hanging materials such as hooks and nails. Despite this however, there are still several setbacks, initally I scheduled my print for thursday, but I ended up going over my bookings time and so, I needed to cancel. That brought be to saturday, which was the next time I had prepared for the printing of the arm. However, the lab RAN OUT of fillament! I didn't expect this to happen but unfortunately, production will have to be moved to this following week. This will be a much tighter schedule than I had hoped but I am hoping that I can still make my deadline for April 7th.

Croatian Pattern's and Motifs: Surface Design Creation

Croatian Pattern's and Motifs Project By: Marina Dawson OBDF 210           After plenty of research, I decided to create a spread of some of my favorite kolo's, Orgada's, and Narukvica's some which are from the region in Croatia my family is from, and ones that I had created myself. The color palette I decided to utilize are inspired by traditional kolo dresses and scarves from the capitol of Croatia, Zagreb.  I used a plethora of commands while creating this design such as, Array Polar, Offset, Mirror, Rotate (Copy) and of course Hatch. I struggled in some areas especially like using Array's as I am still familiarizing myself with the command. Otherwise, even though some of the processes may have been difficult, I am very pleased with the outcome and I think that the end result is beautiful

I, Object Assignment.   The first show for the object design department at Auarts, I, Object, is  a pleasure. I spent much of my time chatting with the other students at this closing show, reflecting mostly on how much this program has evolved post-pandemic. I signed up for object design in my first year in 2021, and after reading the description, I was overly confident that I was signing up for a self-directed ceramics or sculpture course. Of course, on the first day of class, when everything was online, I realized that I would be designing objects using CAD. Honestly, I was livid. I was sure that I was going to be a purely traditional artist who focused on the discipline of painting and drawing. Spoiler alert: object design is now my minor, so its safe to say I changed my mind. Having been a traditional artist, however, the first few weeks were absolute hell, and the learning curve was embarrassing. Yikes..... I, Object, managed to capture the essence of what drew me into o...

project 2 updates

  This weeks updates This week has been hectic. I fell behind for a moment there and I even considered abandoning my project completely. There were several times that I sliced my objects on Prusa and realized I had nearly 30 hours of printing ahead of me. This was daunting, yet, it did appear that the face would be no issue on the printer so long as no other students interfered or any other inconceivable thing could happen. I decided to fire up the prints and walk away, for my sanity.  I also had a considerable amount of modelling ahead of me, with the issue of my scans having several holes in them. At first, I considered using a powerful system such as blender to remedy the designs and doing my best to follow tutorials online for the clay tools, but, after a lot of struggle I ultimately chose to return to mesh mixer, even if it was a lesser version after a THREE year hiatus.  The process absolutely had its growing pains. Time after time I experimented with each brush to ...
