Your major: English/American Studies (long ago)

 

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus).

I’m interested in programming and design for web applications, especially in educational and activist contexts. I work on a software suite called Marca for the writing classroom. I research Wikipedia and the Open Source Software Community. I also enjoy photography, and building various unlikely gadgets with Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

 

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I’m responsible for the ITEC 3d printer and want to learn how to do interesting and compelling things with it, not just print out junk I found on thingiverse.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

3d modelling, especially in tools like Rhino and Blender. Also, the principles of good design in 3d objects.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

Whoo. Big question. I think a work of art is good if it recalls or evokes in the viewer a strong specific emotional state. The work of art is a sort of work of memory. The more specific the emotional moment invoked, the better.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I know absolutely nothing about digital sculpture, and hope to have a pretty good idea of what it is and how to use it by the time this course is finished.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

A work of art that is “good” is one that is engaging or makes a person think.  There is always something new you can notice about such a work.

Your major: Studio Art/ Philosophy

 

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus).

Gamelan Ensemble, Writeres of Rohan, DRAGON, Student Art Association

Interests: dreams, animals, children’s books and illustrations, puppets

 

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I am taking this class so that I become more adept at using computers to sculpt.  I think digital sculpture can be used as a good planning stage for traditional works, as well as act as art in its own right.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I really don’t know anything about digital sculpture, so no.

 

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

I find art that tells or suggests a story to be the most interesting forms of art.

Your major: Computer Science – Studio Arts (double major)

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus): Drawing, 3D modeling, soccer, games, visual effects

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I’m interested in doing visual effects, of which 3D is a crucial element. I hope this course will help me model better, work with other 3D people and understand how to integrate the 3D models with other visual elements.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I would like to learn modeling, texturing and lighting, which are important parts of ciema

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good? Why do you feel this way?

Visually aesthetic.

Your name:Jeremy Shui

Your major: Biomedical Engineering

 

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus).

I am on the club Ultimate Frisbee team. I like to participate in most intramural sports such as basketball, flag football, and softball.

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I wanted to take this class because in my engineering class I learned how to model using Solidworks.  I found doing computer modeling enjoyable and thought that learning a new software would be fun and a new experience.  I think that digital sculpture will be a different experience because it is more creative.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I am hoping to learn how to be more creative in my work.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

A work of art is good if there are different levels of depth.  If there is further meaning than what can be seen initially.

Your name: Ethan Krokonko

Your major: Biomedical Engineering

 

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus).

I am a second-year RA on campus for the Gateways Residence Halls.  I am also a senior captain on the men’s club ultimate frisbee team, the Mudsharks, and I enjoy playing and watching sports, mostly basketball and football.

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I am taking this class to explore my creativity through a new medium.  I have taken a fabrication class that utilized SolidWorks and 3D-printing, but I would like to learn a new type of software that will add to my marketable skills when applying to graduate school and searching for jobs.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

At this point in time, I do not have any specific topics or techniques that I am interested in learning more about, but I am intrigued in how design is taught differently between the engineering and arts and sciences courses.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

A good work of art can evoke a response from its audience, regardless of who it is.  It can have multiple different interpretations, and still be correct.

Your name: Nick Tacca

Your major: Biomedical Engineering

 

Please list a few of your interests, sports you play, or other activities you’re involved in (on or off campus).

Soccer, B.A.C.E.S., and engineering design challenges

 

Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I am taking this class because I really like using SolidWorks already and I thought it would be neat to learn another CAD software.  In addition, I think it will be cool to be able to model a lot of different objects or other sculptures in an artistic way rather than just for engineering purposes.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I think it would be interesting to learn how to make something look like-life. For example, I think it would be really neat to make a sculpture of a wolf or some other animal in the middle of running.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

I think art is good when I look at it and I feel a sense of emotion.  I want to look at something unique and powerful.  Often times this can be a realistic portrait but other times I think art can be good when the artist changes something about the object which is being modeled.
