Tatebankos and studios

A Japanese form of art in which a small diorama is created emphasizing foreground, middleground, background

Tatebanko

Building our World - architecture and humanity

Project Description:
When humanity looks to make a mark on the world, we frequently make it permanent. Great works of architecture create and define spaces to either provide shelter or also further our understanding of each other, and our world. In this lesson, we will explore the complexity of shelter and how it effects and affects us as humans. Also how we perceive spacial depth in art as it mimics architecture.

ASSIGNMENT 1 - Tatebanko Considered a child's toy and craft, these puzzle dioramas are traditionally printed upon one sheet of paper which becomes a perspective piece of art. The subjects of these are primarily great works of art translated and broken down to foreground, middleground, background. 

Activity 1:     Create a set of sketches - one foreground focusing on nature , one middleground that represents you, and a background that represents technology 
Due - 11/5/2014
Activity 2:      Create thumbnail sketches of how your Tatebanko will lay out and look as a 3D object
Due - 11/6/2014
Activity 3:      Draw the final works on pieces of stiff cardstock and cut them out with a utility blade. (be sure to leave attachment tabs). 
Due - 11/13/2014
Activity 4:      Create the environment for the diorama portion of the piece in paper- create a box for your diorama.
Due - 11/18/2014
Activity 5:      Glue the cut drawings to the floor of  the box, then place the walls and roof of the box appropriately. 
Due - 11/25/2014

ASSIGNMENT 2 - Personal Studios
Activity 1:     You will engage in a discussion of the work of architect Moshe Safdie. After watching a video where Safdie describes his work and the motivation for several monuments and community buildings, you will discuss his motivations and what you think in regards to the essential questions above.
Activity 2:     Seeing the memorials created by Safdie, you will explore the histories of your home town. After finding an event or demographic that is prevalent in your town, research the history of that event/culture.
Activity 3:     Choose a room in the school building - how does the decor and personal items in the room define the subject and/or the teacher? Document what you see. Which are artifacts that could help you define the people and place in which the objects are found.
Activity 4:     Design your future studio. Incorporate in this art making space, things that are relevant to you, your cultural heritage, and the aesthetics you enjoy in architecture. Us Trimble SketchUp to aid in creating a 3-D CAD model of your ideal studio.
