The Meaningful Object
Hello
I am Nicole Anne Santangelo, I go by the name Tapirot when it comes to sharing my art in public. Last Wednesday, January 9, I have a class in 3D Object Design taught by Greg Ball. For our first assignment, students were asked to watch Gary Hustwit's Objectified and to create a virtual object inspired from the film. That day, my head was all over the place and I was not thinking straight. So while I was watching the video, I created something that did not meet the assignments requirements.
Meet Magnificent Allis-Bruticus, a 3D design inspired by my ceramic piece "Demon's Rose". I was not quite sure what I should be doing in class while I was watching the film so I just explored what I can do with Tinkercad. Making this piece was fun, however, I was not happy with the horns. I experimented with the other shapes for a bit but class was ending in a few minutes so I stopped.
When class ended and I arrived home, I read the instructions again and finally understood what the project was about. So I watched the film again that night and brain stormed more ideas. The next day, I watched the film again but this time I used it as a background noise while I was making the sketches for the project. The sketches I made were not the best since I am not great at sketching objects at all but I had an idea. The base object that I used for my design is a chair. In Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec's segment, they were talking about how they want a chair so that people who drunk a lot of beer can just plunk on it. So it made me think of what kind of chair an artist would need and I thought maybe a leaning drawing chair would be cool. So I made that.
This is only the first draft of it. I need help on refining it and making it more functional. More research is needed, of course.
