Alex Project 6: Form and Space

The Process

This project was interesting and enjoyable because we got to learn so much about 3d objects when it comes to digital and drawing. One thing that I found so fascinating was when you make a simple shape in Illustrator like making line using the pen tool, a circle, or a small square that it can turn into a whole different shape when turn into 3D. I also learned that when you make these shapes and make them revolve or extrude that it gives them a whole different shape as well the shape gets a width and depth. This also is the same when drawing theses shapes I was never good at drawing 3D shapes, but after having an experience with 3D shapes in Illustrator it gives me a bit more of information on how we can turn these flat shapes into 3D shapes that are no longer flat. Overall I had lots of fun with this project because once you understand how to use revolve and extrude with the shapes you can make so many compositions that can tell a story or just make random shapes, but make them connected so its not just all over the place. I can’t wait to use what I learn in this project so I can make more of these in the future.
