Design-Industrial Design project
What does an industrial designer do?
Almost every factory-made object has been designed or planned by an industrial designer.These designers make detailed drawings of 3-D objects to show sizes, shapes and textures of the product. They specify the materials and processes of manufacturing. Often, industrial designers will also make models of the product for testing. Industrial designers try to anticipate all the ways a person might use --or misuse--the object. Industrial designers are artists. It is their job to make products look good because as Raymond Loewy, an influential industrial designer, said, "Ugliness doesn't sell." Henry Dreyfuss, one of the great industrial designers of the twentieth century, sums up the role of the industrial designer, "If people are made safer, more comfortable, more efficient-or just plain happier, the designer has succeeded."
Choose an everyday object that you want to improve.
Divide a sheet a paper in half and make two lists. On one side list all the things the object does well--the things you like about it. On the other side, list the things the object does poorly--the things you dislike about it.
Note the changes you want to make on your thumbnail sketches. They should include changes in size, shape, materials, and color.
Your finished image will show two distinctly different points of view in the same scale of your re-designed item.
Begin the finish with a precise pencil rendering in an 11 x 17 window on bristol board and finish in color using copic markers and any other materials you think would enhance your finished product.

What is Industrial Design?
Industrial design is a multi-disciplinary field of design. “What is Industrial Design?” is a somewhat broad question because industrial design may include a number of different sub-divisions of design. These sub-categories of industrial design may include furniture design, packaging design, car design, product design, lighting design, and a whole number of other types of jobs in applied three-dimensional arts.
Industrial design specifically differentiates itself from these other specific types of design by focussing on the industrialized process. For the most part, everything that an industrial designer creates is intended to be mass produced. Inherent in the design of the object is the design of the process in which the object is made. The question What is Industrial Design ? can have many answers because industrial design overall is focussed on the process by which things are produced, more so then producing a specific item.
Industrial Design Definition
Industrial design is a field that blends together art and engineering with the general goal of creating an object for production. Industrial Design differs from the field of Product Design in that industrial design focusses around objects of industry. Industrial design is a multi-disciplinary field that involves many other aspects of design including graphic design, packaging, furniture, and many more.
Industrial design basically combines applied art and applied science with solid business acumen to create and design a product that is functional, useable and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
History of Industrial Design
To fully understand what is industrial design, it is important to know the origins of the industry. Industrial design really got its start at the beginning of the twentieth century. Along with growth in technology and the industrialization of the Western world’s manufacturing capabilities, came a need for someone to engineer this process. The phrase “industrial design” was first conceived of by the New Zealand based Joseph Claude Sinel in 1919. In the early days of industrial design, the role of the industrial designer was to merge mass-market production techniques with the skills of traditional craftsmanship.
What is Industrial Design Used For?
The industrial design process is essentially applied to every product that is manufactured and used by consumers. It takes the idea for a new product from the concept stage, through design and refinement to actual production of the final product. The overall aim of industrial design is to basically ensure that a product functions well and does the job required, has an attractive appearance, and is appealing to customers so that it sells. Industrial designers work in a huge number of product categories, with most specializing in a particular field of work. This can range from household appliances to technology devices, furniture, toys, automobiles, tools and a host of other categories.
Students will choose one of three categories: Interior, furniture or product design (which can incluse toys). Step one is to find an existing product/space. Begin sketching ways to improve in both function and form.

Ceramics 2 Mesopotamia (Meza-PO-tania)
Mesopotamia, the "land between" the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which would now be in the region of Syria, is the focus for the second project. Red clay was abundant in this area and students will use red or white clay to create three structures. In approximately 6000 BC, pottery known as Halaf pottery was known for it’s smooth surface and often used a very limited palette of both red and black pigments. (distinctive blues were used as this period of art evolved)
Students will, again, follow links provided on the blog and research this period in time and look at the traits of this work including not only the smooth surfaces but the the use of animals as a theme for both utilitarian work as well as aesthetic creations. References of three different animals will be gathered and students will create three different pieces. The wheel will be an option for students to utilize in the creation of these pieces. Artwork may be produced in any form from sculpture to a bowl or plate.
Alternate assignment will be to investigate and create a foot tall free-standing Lamassu, which were known to be mythical guardians in animal form with human heads. Students will investigate the treasures of Ur which will provide many examples of animal subjects, color pallets and designs.
Please read assigned links above and comment with initial thoughts for how you want to proceed with this project. (comment will not automatically appear so please send only once)

Pop Art- Jim Dine
Jim Dine was a significant artist in the Pop Art movement and created a wide variety of work using many different subjects as well as media.
We will focus on using everyday tools as the subject and rendering with a limited palette of reds. Your acrylic palette may consist of red, along with black, and white to tint and shade as well as green (used minimally) to desaturate.
Begin by reading the link below as well as viewing the second link below to give you a strong sense of the breadth of his work.

Advanced Art- Alphabird
After reading the last post on typefaces you will be ready to move on to the assignment. Choose 3 different letterforms from three different fonts. No L's, I's or O's. Then choose 3 different birds and get photo references of each. Begin thumbnail sketches on ways to create the letterforms you chose using the three birds. Each of the birds should be approximately 10 inches tall and you may use any mixed media you choose. You will need at least two so colored pencil and watercolor would be an example.
Focus on these objectives:
Beginning your drawing with basic shapes using the letterforms as a "skeleton"
Focus on texture and create at least 3 different distict textures with each of the birds.
Make sure that the letterforms are readable in the amalgam form that you create.
