Negative and Positive Shape

The Epilog Laser Cutter is a fascinating machine. This year I will be having my students create wooden trivet designs to cut out on the laser. I have 70ish students each year that all need an experience on the equipment. I think this will be a nice project with a take home item to share with the family.

I plan to use 1/4" luan plywood for these laser cut items. I am anxious to see what the students design. This project can be used to reinforce any of the design principles, but students tend to forget what positive and negative space means, until I remind them about the cutouts in a pumpkin.

Ideas for the Technology, Engineering and Design Studio or Lab

I love creating a new project. I love the moments of project inception and the excitement of the research and gathering my thoughts to formulate the actual projects. In fact, I have so many written up that I have never used, that I decided to launch this blog to share these ideas with others to use.  Whenever I attend a workshop or conference, I am satisfied with the event if I walk away with one new idea. I have come to realize that I am not alone. all of the attendees are seeking ideas to take back to to implement with their students. I often get bogged down by all of the project ideas I have and get frustrated with not being able to use them all.  Over the years, I have tried to give many of my ideas a marine theme becuase of the nature of the school that I have been at since Septmeber 1998. I certainly know where the time went, writing up new projects! So without further delay, I will start sharing the pages, assignments and projects that I have for you all to use a...

Photo Introduction

Image
I just mentioned photography, so I figure I better give you some insight to my approach with the students. One of my pet peves is when a students photographs their work or project with all kinds of noise in the background or even foreground! I have them start a slide deck on Google Slides and post their photos to a slideshow so that they have a place to put their shots and I can access the slide shows for assessing. I can add comments and redirect them in their efforts. Please note that I only have enough photography knowledge to be dangerous.  What I learned is mostly from Michael Miller, a local photogrpher, but don't blame him for any of my shortcomings. I start with the rule of thrids and send students off to take their first set of photos for homework. Again, they post these to their slide deck. Note that each of these sections below are images that you can grab and print on a full page as a handout.  I then talk about Macro Shots and send them off again to...

Color and Color Effects

Image
Each of us sees our own version of the same colors and in some cases, some don't see the color at all. These worksheets allow the student to understand the nature of color and start to play with the effects of color when used onw their own or paired with other colors. The last worksheet encourages studetns to consider whay companies use the colors that they do and why nature uses color to attract or repel.

CAD Design / Plastic Printing /Prototyping

Image
Designing a cookie cutter appears to be quite simple, but students will get the chance to use offset, mirror and other commands if they are new to the sofware you are using. Adding structure to provide detail to the cookie will challange even the best students. Students can do research to learn what makes an effective cookie shape. They can test their designs using cinnamon dough to create an ornament as long as they remember to puncture a hole in the top for hanging. Be sure you don't have anyone in the class with a gluten allergy. In that case, use a porcelain dough or air drying clay. Use this activity for student to write reflections on their design. Despite the simple design, you will be pleasantly surprised at all that your students can write about the cookie cutter. In a formal technically written document, discuss the following in 10+ paragraphs:   I.   Scope of the project. (10) What did you need to design? (The project entailed . . . ) keep in ...

Pinwheels for Peace

Image
September 21st is international Day of Peace. Check out this site for more details. I thought I could turn this event into an activity usuing the pinwheels as one of the projects for the design principles. I will plan to have the students display their pinwheels down a main outdoor pathway on our campus on September 21st. Please join me and share images of your student work wherever you can to promote peace.

Identifying, Describing and Creating Texture

Image
These worksheets address Texture and force students to look around them for texture in their world. Texture is all around us and so often gets overlooked. often students will tell me that some objects have no texture, when in fact "smooth" is a texture and that is what they really should give as an answer.  Perhaps a list of texture words would be of some help to students new to identifying and describing surfaces. For instance, you would not say that a stone is stoney. Some students fall into the trap of naming the object rather than the texture. How would you describe etching on a glass bottle or mirror?  Textures: Bumpy, Smooth, Rough, Gritty, Slick, Silky, Soft, Prickly, Fuzzy, Hard, Woven, Rigid, Jagged, Chalky, Pasty, Bristly, etc. Some textures need further explanation like woven. A woven texture could be fine or coarse.  Some textures can be summed up using another word like the stiff and prickly hairs on a pig can be described as bristly. Depending on ...

Grid Transfer and Detail

Image
In an effort to get students to pay attention to detail, I have them enlarge this turtle image to the given grid using only color pencils. I forbid them to use a regular pencil to transfer the imagery. Some students start in one corner and move across the image while others start with the turtle and continue out from the center. No way is the correct way as long as the image is transfered accurately to the grid. I allow the students to start the activity in class and then ask them to complete the image within a week. No need to drag out the process. I let them keep the colored pencils that they start with and return them when they are done. Turtle Source: Wintner , Anita. Green Sea Turtle. Retrieved on 9/5/16 from        http:// physiologizing.blogspot.com /2013/03/living-life-at-sea-diving-physiology- in.html The results are astounding and range from eh to wow! This lets the students see what others are capable of and if they need to pay more atten...

Form Follows Function

Image
Most of us live in rectagular prisms because they are cheaper to build and an irregular shapeds structure. If you were to watch the movements of a family from an aerial view you would see that they do not move in x-y paths throught their spaces during their daily routines. If we were to form walls around the spaces that enveloped their movements, they would live in amoeba shaped structures which would be quite costly to build. However, in design, allowing form to follow function is the way to go reach the best design solution. This worksheet pushes students to think about current designed items and whay they take on the 3D form that they do.

Inspired Light Panel Design

Image
I have been teaching design elements and principles for years to develop the students background in design and provide needed content for the Visual and Performing Arts requirements, as our school does not offer art courses. I use a series of worksheets to get the students to practice the concepts, then they apply the concepts to photos they take. They use the photos and worksheets to start a portfolio of their work. I hope to develop a new set of design worksheets that link the deisgn principles and artchitecture. This particular activity if framed and hung in a window will act as a stained glass panel. Besides Frank Lloyd write, my other inspiration was from a sea snake that I gave a biomimicry lesson on. I will write about that activity in the near future. For now, I just wanted you to know why this panel looks like it does. Feel free to alter the assignment as you need to for your students. The purpose here was to introduce someone in Architecture, using a sea organism as ...

Chocolate Bar Design for Free Willy Wonka

Image
Every once in a while, I will see a new chocolate candy flavor or candy bar combination and think to myself, "Wow, that took them long enough to come up with that one or put that one out to the public." This year I want to challenge my students to design their own new charbolate bar combo like a Chunky or Snickers or even a new M&M flavor. For years I had my freshmen do marine themed chocolate bars. They design the shape and packaging. The 3.5 ounce chocolate limit forced the student to think about an individual bar design. Of course I would get starfish and anchors, but one year, I got one designed to be 1st Sgt. Nelson, one of our Naval Science instructors at the time because he was a marine! Situation The “Free Willy Wonka” chocolate manufacturer is looking for a new line of marine themed  solid or mixed ingredient   3.5 ounce chocolate bars to market along the coast (of a Spanish speaking country). Design Brief Design, develop and produce a 3.5-ounce s...
