Description:

A semester long course, offered as an elective for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors from both Fine Arts and Design Arts. The objective of the class is for the students to gain skills in thinking through design problems, using a sketching, model making and dimensioned drawings. These are then translated into actual structures using wood and or wood products. Other materials may be used with consultation with the instructor. Students will become familiar with the properties of wood, employing them appropriately and developing methods for working accurately. The processes of cutting, shaping, joining by the use of hand tools and woodworking machinery is taught in a series of assigned projects. Health and safety issues as related to their course of study will be covered. Students will be encouraged to develop a knowledge and respect for the tools, techniques and material of choice. By being able to transpose a 2D image/schematic drawing into a 3D object it is hoped that the student will begin to formulate an appreciation of how the experience of this class might relate to their major or other life interests.
