One of our drafting assignments in Theater Graphics was to draft a stool in isometric perspective. It couldn’t be just any stool, it had to be a specific one of our class stools. From the beginning, the examples of how to do this looked like a summoning ritual… On the night before it was due, someone drew a Demon Stool on the white board complete with a D&D story. The damn stool drove us all insane.
The notes for my stool read: Stool should be carved in soap stone. Painted in iridescent paint and then coated in glitter. Will need to support the weight of a small puppy, like a toy poodle.
Steel cube, welded and then ground smooth. This was a construction project for my Scenic Fundamentals class. Everyone worked in partners, and got to choose their material to create a cube. Worked with Michael, which was awesome and I hope I get to partner with him again sometime! =) They decided to keep our cube for future examples, so neither of us got to take this one home. I learned that welding is not my forte yet, but I’m good at welding holes into things! I’ll have to get some practice time in this semester so I cure myself of that tendency.

My completed model staircase for Theater Graphics. It stands about 3” tall, made of foam core, bristol board, copper wire, and solder. My first experience with a soldering iron, and I still need a lot more practice, so I’ll probably be getting one for home in the near future. This project made me want to start making doll houses, which I’ll have to look into when I’m not in the middle of mid terms!
Early morning on 10/13/10. A beautiful Seattle sky full of clouds, with the sun just peeking from behind the sky scrapers. This would be leaving my car parked, walking over to the Scenic Fundamentals building on 9th.
I loved how the space needle lined up with the power lines, so I snapped a shot. This is just outside of the Scenic Fundamentals building.
A wooden bench created for Scenic Fundamentals, to show understanding of tools, wood, saw, instructions, etc. Worked with a partner… It only wobbled a little bit from a problem that we couldn’t fix though we tried, so all and all I’m pleased with it. This was done on 10/6/10.
This was a project for Theater Graphics, taking a pre-drawn 2d design sketch and turning it into a 3d model using foam core, bristol board, and a lot of gluestick. Was actually fun, and I got 100% on it which is awesome! The entire model stands about 8 inches high, give or take.
