Hope you all are making good progress with your 2^nd Sketchup model and stair design.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

• The idea behind each of your stairs, how can you best express your idea? Think about your idea in terms of your stair’s, structure, form, choice of materials.

Eg. What do you think the architect is trying to express through this stair design?

What could be the idea behind this stair design?

• Use the Section Plane tool to help you with designing your stairs, and also to help show your overall design.

• Don’t forget to upload all your hand drawings and Sketch up images to your blog BEFORE CLASS.

• I also recommend printing out the studio task before coming to class too.

• Either bring your Sketch up file, or your lap top with the file on it. (Mac users, make sure the file type, .skp, is included on the end of your file name when you save it.)

• Have a read of what is due on March 27, eg “THE 18 SKETCH SECTIONS _ Do the 18 sketch sections communicate a distinctive and significant approach the student has taken with respect to the artists work and their relationship to the datum?”

And,

• “THE STAIR _ Does the stair demonstrate a distinctive and significant approach to bringing the completed artwork into the gallery?”

See you Wednesday.
