3D review

I just had my final review for 3d! As frustrating as that class was, I really think I'm going to miss it. There was a short period of time this winter when I was contemplating going into apparel, but then I quickly realized how unfashionable I am and how impatient I am when it comes to measuring things. But making clothes is FUN and Industrial design is COOL! Aaaaaaggghhh! Oh well. None of that in illustration next year, but I'm still wicked excited. So.... here are some of my projects from this semester..

My wire shoe! The assignment was to replicate any shoe at 2 1/2 scale. I stabbed myself many times with wire and made my fingers bleed. OOPS!

My makeup remover pad dress! The assignment was to make something, either sculptural or functional, out of 100, 500, or 1000 of something. This here is 500 makeup remover pads. I was just looking for an excuse to make a dress, so I loved this assignment, despite the hot glue burns I got all over my fingers! Thank you, Scott Brower for the photos!

And lastly, my chair. The assignment was to make a chair out of 1x2 pieces of pine. This was probably the most challenging assignment I've ever had. Measurements? Wood? Joints? Measurements????? After two weeks of hard work and a trip to health services for chiseling my finger, heres what I got.

FINALLLZZZZ

I've gone to bed around 6 am for the past two nights and will probably be doing the same tonight... oh yes, its finals week. I had my last 2d class today. Goodbye, Martie! Oh how I will miss your kindergarden assignments and critiques about how "cute" our pieces are.... I did like my final however. We had to write a haiku and illustrate it in three or more panels. Yes, the assignment is pretty dumb, but I like how mine came out. My haiku was about rain and I wanted the viewer to be reminded of those gloomy, rainy days where you just never want to get out of bed. I used a muted, dark color pallet and lots of vertical marks to give the illusion of rain. This is how it came out:
