Malovich: Reflections

The Malovich class project started as a learn how to trace an imported image to sketchup and extrude it into a 3 dimensional structure or building of sorts. I found this project quite enjoyable and informative, this project gave me a lot of freedom to explore sketchup and really get creative with my design. Although the tracing from the Malovichpainting was similar for most of the students, the finished product varied greatly from person to person both in color and final design.

Tools used (View > Tool Palettes > Large Tool Set) select, rectangle, push/pull, offset, tape measure tool, follow me tool, arc, line, paint bucket, zoom extents, move, circle, eraser, orbit, pan, axes, scale, polygon, make group Dialog boxes used (View > Face Style > X-ray)View > Axes was used to hide axes lines prior to exporting to 2d images.(File> Import) .jpgRight click dialog box was used to hide selected lines.Right click dialog box > make group

Malovich: SLO Progress ReportSLO 2: Select and effectively use either manual or digital

means to explore, analyze, and document an evolution of

design ideas in architecture and interior design

Na

2.a. Relate modes of representation; select and apply best

system to explore and communicate design intentions

Used perspective and orthographic views to communicate

the idea of MalovichTower

2.b. Produce a set of architectural drawings to document a

case study

NA

2.c. Produce a portfolio of work that chronicles student

learning throughout the semester

Yes

SLO 3: Accurately relate each aspect of the drawn visual

language system to three-dimensional reality and human

perception

Use of perspective view with entourage and shade

communicates the reality of Malovich Tower. Inclusion of

human figures gives a credible scale to the monolithic

Malovich Tower.

SLO 4: Visually and verbally explain the process of idea

development using graphic representation

The process of developing the Malovich Tower was a

class exercise to begin with and other detailsand

accessories were added outside of class for additional

practice using Skechup 8

SLO 5: Develop an awareness of the relationships

between graphic representations and fundamental design

principles and elements

Using a 2d jpeg, tracing, and groups allowed me to

systematically develop Malovich Tower also provided

more insights and control over the design process with my

developing Sketchup skills. Developing Malovich Tower

was onlypossible as an iteration of the 2d Malovich

Painting. Breaking the tracing into many separate groups

allowed for individual manipulation and extrusion of the 2d

image tracing peices.
