Reflection on 3D-Design: Geometric Form/Color

  

Your reflection is the place to document your process of discovery, creative exploration, questioning, and the synthesis of ideas to artistic form and theory with personal associations.  The following entries were structured to help you begin the process of sorting through the concept of reflection.  This represents the minimum that should be represented in your reflection.  Feel free to add those statements or questions that helped you sort through this project.

 

1.       Using the questions below as a reference describe your process of experimentation in creating your two projects on geometric form and color.  Include in your discussion your decision making process --for example your idea/concept and the design considerations (form/geometry/mathematics), craftsmanship issues, material choice, etc. and (how you made use of your critique partner’s suggestions).  Describe the design and decisions you made and their relationship to the overall concept of your project.  Please be thorough and complete in your reflection and address the criteria of the assignments.

 

2.       How did you determine what geometric form to create? How did you use the folded forms to help in your decision making?  What kind of measuring was necessary, etc?   Describe your process for building your form.

 

3.          Discuss your color wheel.  How did you mix the colors?  What colors did you use?  What did you observe about value, color and intensity?  How did you use this information to make decisions about color as it relates to the structure you created?

 

4.          Describe what you did well.      

 

5.          Describe what is problematic in your work.

 

6.          Describe what you learned about design in creating this to pieces.

 

If you use sources be sure to include source notations (bibliographic, people, etc.) The assessment of your reflection will be based on the thoroughness and seriousness of your effort.   Be as specific as possible, giving concrete examples (from your work) to illustrate your creative process
