39. In 3D Design,
materials, scale, and process can be
central to the meaning of the work.
Take the time to refer to the size of the
work and what is made from.

40. Some things to consider about 3D
design…
Peter Voulkos Untitled Plate
woodfired stoneware 5.5”x 22.25”x20”
“Every act of creation is first of all an act of
destruction.”
― Pablo Picasso”

41. Sometimes the first image we see doesn’t reveal
the whole story
Wolfgang Laib Milk Stone
marble, milk 36”x36”x2”

42. The milk on the stone

43. Sometimes it is the material that carries the
content in 3D design
Gnaw Janine Antoni
600 lbs. of chocolate and 600 lbs. of lard

44. Han Dynasty Urn with Coca-Cola Logo
Ai Wei Wei
ceramic and paint, 10”x11’x11”
Sometimes the content will work with the form to
address a larger idea.

45. Ai Weiwei - Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn
Sometimes the action is the artwork.

46. Sometimes the
form is the
content.
Student work
porcelain 24”x 7”x 6”

47. Some objects will primarily be about formal
relationships of the elements and principles
of design.
AP Student work
silver, bronze 4”x.5”x.5”

48. Some objects will emphasize ideas and
the artist’s point of view.
AP Student work titled Hunger control device for the adolescent anorexic
Pewter, steel 3”x 6”x3.5”

49. AP Student work,
Metal, fabric 98”x75”x 30”
The scale of a piece
may have a
significant effect on
how it is
understood.

50. Materials matter.
What a piece is made of
can speak to what the
student is trying to say.
Student work
lace curtain, human hair, wood, wire
30”30”x2”

51. Some work may not be
all you were hoping for

52. and some will be strange and beautiful
Look for the engagement with the principles of 3D
design, engagement with ideas, and student vision,
and use the 3D design rubric to accurately assess the
issues in the work.

53. Worker and Kolkhoz Woman Vera Mukhina
Stainless steel 80 feet tall
Go forth into that bright, brave, 3-dimensional future
comrades, and rely on the rubric to guide you
forward.
