2D Design Fabrication(week 10)

-

My partner and I worked together on this project using laser cutting. We had great success experimenting with cardboard, but when we switched to acrylic, we encountered many issues with bubbles catching fire. We had to stop several times to troubleshoot and figure out where the problem was. With the help of Adela, we finally managed to complete the piece. As a gesture of gratitude, we gave her a small dog that we had made.

This experience has also inspired me in the field of education. I believe that 2D design fabrication is an excellent way to help students develop practical skills, attention to details, and problem-solving abilities. Through this process, I have learned so much.

    Hello Ran! This project is so cute! It’s inspiring to hear that this experience has shaped your perspective on education. Your insight into how 2D design fabrication can foster practical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving is spot on. These are invaluable skills for students, and your firsthand experience makes a strong case for including fabrication techniques in educational settings.

About me

Hi!! This is Ran from Comm&Edu, Teachers College, Columbia University. I am passionate about exploring the world through colors and lines, capturing moments and emotions that are hard to describe in words. I like animation, so most of my works are more cartoonish, with bright colors and exaggerated lines. I believe that art can break the limits of language and use visual elements to convey unique stories. Every color, every line, carries my observations and thoughts about the world, showing the deepest feelings of my soul. I have some experiences of designing intellectual property image for some specific companies and making posters, which gave me more understandings of new media. In my teaching experience, I am committed to guiding students to observe and perceive the world, discover their own interests and passions. True learning should come from individuals' inner drive, not external compulsion. Therefore, I encourage students to explore, consider, and develop their own lear...

Digital Collage (Week 2)

In this work, I described my feelings of the 2 weeks in New York: I travelled across the hemisphere and came to a new environment, here I was broken and reorganized, I saw the prosperity of Manhattan, appreciated the great art works, but also experienced the loneliness of being away from family and friends. September 17th is the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion. Therefore, I refer to the full moon as the festival in my work. No matter who you are, no matter where it is, everyone is apprecating the full moon at this moment. According to my inspiration, I searched for my own photos and related images, cut and spliced them in procreate. I placed the moon and Manhattan at the center of vision in several images of a "look", both artistic and reflective of the theme of appreciating the moon. At the same time, I used a map of the world as a background to show a sense of vastness. I really had fun in the process of this design. It gives me space to imagine ...
