Layers Design

This piece is inspirational due to its layers having a natural feel to them. I want to emulate this in my art as I am basing it off one of my favorite characters, Groot. One thing that I hope to maintain in the 3D print is depth and logical paths that this artist, Philip Roberts,…

Mikayla Raffin: Layers Concept Sketch

For the layers project I really wanted to create a 3D animal head out of the layers of the material I chose to use. I have seen a lot of really cool layered animal head designs and was totally inspired by the look. I specifically chose to sketch a capybara head because it is one…

Layers Design – Haley Gilbert

Here is my layers design. I took inspiration from the topography maps specifically this one. I want to make it look like a photograph on the wall rather than three dimensional like the one above. This is a topographical map of Plum Island (a small beach in Newburyport MA), I also will be adding a…

Layers Design

I was inspired by designs from Below the Boat featuring wooden topographic maps. I traced a portion of the map I wanted in Inkscape but I had to simplify and change some parts until it looked the way I wanted. Originally I wanted to make a clock so I changed the map layers to fit…

Layers Design – Deanna Polosino

For my design, I wanted to incorporate things that are important in my life. I have been camping since I was a kid so I choose to do make the boarder of the design in the shape of a Class C RV. The inside is an outdoor and mountainy landscape. Each color represents a different…

Rachel May Layers Design Concept Sketch

My design for the Layers project is going to be a model of the largest volcano in the solar system: Olympus Mons! Though it is a shield volcano, meaning it is shaped quite flat like a shield, it is 2 and a half times taller than Mount Everest. It’s also located on Mars. My inspiration…

Samy Rosenberg’s Layer Project Design

This is Sassy, my cat, mashed together with a cat skull. I’m going to cut the layers out of paper using different colors to create depth in this piece. I plan to use lighter colors closer to the center of the artwork where the shapes would protrude most from the paper when the cats face…

Layers Concept Sketch – Laura Pellowski

This is a rough sketch of what I am thinking of doing for the layers project. I want it to be dinosaur themed, and the different layers will show perspective. I think I will make it out of plywood, and then paint/stain the wood to achieve various colors. I am inspired by TomskyStore on Etsy….

Calvin’s Layers Design

Design Concept: I plan to use edge lit, raster and vector engraved 0.25″ acrylic on this piece. In researching various layered edge lit pieces online, I noticed how the further back a layer, the blurrier and less detailed the design because light needs to travel through many layers. I plan to embrace and enunciate this…

Project 1 Design Concept – Sebastian Lanz

This is my main rough design. It is an abstract polygonal sea turtle. Most parts will be larger from bottom to top, the exception being the triangular parts of the shell which will be openings that go deep into piece. I think I create an interesting contrast in the piece by letting onlookers view into…
