2nd year critique:

9 a.m SECOND YEAR CRITIQUE! a.k.a- ME next year!!! This was the critique I was hoping to be assigned to!  Their assignment was to fold paper in order to create a curve and imitate the human being. (crazy, right? What does that even mean?)  It was interesting to see the completely different ideas they ended up with!  Only nine people were actually presenting their critique. (Scary- does this mean the best 9 people are chosen?)  It was a much more laid back environment because they were not actually presenting their projects to the whole class.  They basically had to present it to their teacher, and then anyone else who walked by and wanted to hear about it.  The students were also all dressed nice in order to show off their work.  The models were all completely different.  One of my favorites was Weston Willard's, who stuck to paper the entire time. I also spoke to him after wards to ask some questions (he acted like it was no big deal, of course)  He figured out how to make the paper fold in a certain way and then used this same fold in all the others, and ultimately interlocked them all together.  It could then be utilized in several different ways.

Another project I really liked was one that focused on holism.  It was suppose to be a piece of art that had individual pieces that were tied together to make a whole piece.  I thought the model was really successful and it looked so neat and perfect!

All of the second years presentation boards were incredible.  I'm wondering how we're going to go from what we're doing in studio now to creating models and boards that are so professional in the matter of only one semester!  =/ !!
