RISD Bike Drawings

2010-03-29T15:23:00.001-07:00

Three drawing samples are required of all candidates. Each drawing must be done using graphite pencil on a sheet of white paper measuring 16” x 20” (40 cm x 50 cm); other drawing materials should not be used. The first drawing must represent a bicycle. The second drawing must utilize both sides of the sheet of drawing paper. For the third drawing, consider something from three perspectives and relate your three visualizations together on the page.

You may approach these three drawings in any way you wish. For example, your drawings may be realistic or abstract; you may choose to draw an object alone or place it in a situation; you can draw the whole object or only a portion of it, etc.

We consider drawing to be as much about process as presentation, so we encourage you to consider your drawing submissions as exercises in experimental thinking and risk-taking more than final presentations or examples of technical proficiency. We encourage you to consider the full range of possible expression in your submissions, as we do not value any particular style of drawing more than another.

These drawings must be submitted in their original form, not as reproductions. Fold your drawings in half and then in half again to a finished size of 8” x 10” (20cm x 25cm) and be sure to note your full name and address on the back of each drawing.

3d paper folding

2009-10-07T18:56:00.000-07:00

Here is the progression of what we have been doing in 3d
with Paper Folding
all projects are ONE piece of paper using scores to create a pattern
the forms are one piece of paper glued together at the seam

start with a basic pattern
of diamonds

This is an example of a simple diamond pattern
with the first form I did and its pattern

The pattern
marking the necessary scores with color to remember the fold process

Original form with a revised version

I was working out how it terminated at this end

The final of this version done

The final project of this series
In my playing around I came across this
Dodecahedron: A twelve sided form
We have to use color so I am working on a color scheme for this form.
Any suggestions?
