3D Scanning

Students earn up to two (2) extra points toward their total grade of this class by submitting their own 3D scanning project by 11:59 pm, May 1, 2017 (no late work accepted). The scanned object could be an artwork (even a building, or part of it) of any form, material, period, size, and origin.

To earn the 2-point extra credit, the student has to

1)     Take photographs of the object of your choice.

Ideally, you should take pictures from as many different angles as possible to capture the images of all surfaces of the object. The images should overlap a lot, and each should include the entire object (i.e. no zoom-ins). Also pay attention to:

a)    Lighting. Never use flash. Avoid direct sunlight, but shoot where there is constant ambient light to illuminate all parts of the object.

b)    The number of pictures you take. The more images, the more detailed the model; but a larger image group also means more time for the computer to process it.

Here is a helpful article detailing all the steps from taking photos to publishing the model: How I create my 3D scans with Autodesk Recap360

2)    Generate the digital model.

I use Autodesk ReMake for this purpose (Recap360 is another choice). You can download and install it for free if you register using your @pitt.edu account. After installation is complete, you simply upload the image group to the server and it will generate the model for you.

In most cases, the model will need some cropping and other modifications. You could learn the basics of how that can be done by watching the tutorials on the official website.

3)    Publish your model on Sketchfab (or any 3D viewing platform of your choice).

Export your model as an .obj file and upload the zipped file (including the .obj, .mtl, and .jpg files) onto Sketchfab (a Pro account is free if you register using your @pitt.edu account). While you upload, make sure you provide a title and a brief description of the object; you could also make the model “downloadable” so that viewers would be able to download and print it.

You need to adjust the 3D settings before final publishing. Several things to be adjusted include background color/image, lighting, and orientation. Provide at least three annotations in order to earn the extra credit.

4)    Email me the Sketchfab link to your model (a link will be generated automatically if you click on “share”).

Part 1

Art criticism is the process of gathering facts and information about a work of art and the artist to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate art. Critiques of art that are published online or in newspapers can cause an artist to have success or failure because ultimately, art criticism requires making a personal judgment call about a work of art.

For this assignment, you will play the role of art critic and write a review after attending the opening of an Impressionist exhibit in Paris, France. You need to determine if the painting you selected deserves to be given a place in the Louvre Museum of Art. You must be sure to justify your decision and not let your own personal taste influence you. You will use the four-step process of critiquing art to help you write this critique. Select 1 work of art by one of the following artists. Copy the piece of art from the chosen artist into a Word document. Include the name of the artist, the title of the art work, the materials used, and the year it was created. 

  • Mary Cassatt 
  • Pierre-Auguste Renoir 
  • Claude Monet 
  • Edgar Degas 
  • Berthe Morisot
  • Gustave Caillebotte

Complete the following:

  • Use the four steps to critiquing art that are found in Chapter 9 of the Embracing Art textbook to develop a critique of the work. Be sure that you write a well-developed paragraph on each of the four areas, pointing to specific areas in the painting in your explanation: 
    • Description: Give the facts about the work of art. 
    • Analysis: Describe some of the elements of art and principles of design that are used. 
    • Interpretation: After researching the work of art, what do you feel the message of the work is?
    • Evaluation: Based on everything you just described, you will give your own evaluation of the work and determine if the work deserves to be called a work of art. 

Submit 1 Word document for this assignment. In-text citations and a list of references are required when including or paraphrasing any idea, fact, date, or other information from the textbook or other references.

*The images in the textbook are copyright-protected and cannot be copied. To find the exact painting, search the Internet by the artist’s name and the title of the work. Right-click, and copy the image. Open a Word document, and right-click and paste. If the image does not paste into your paper, try another image. Sometimes images are protected and cannot be copied. Wherever you do find the image, make sure to cite your source in APA style. If you are unsure how to cite an image, this resource can help you. 

2 essays, same subject, but need different materials,not plagiarism

Wicked urban problems are all around us. They also appear in the news…often surrounded by controversy. Case studies of such wicked problems help illustrate the politically-charged interface between government and private stakeholders in urban planning. This assignment requires you to conduct an analysis of the news to identify examples of “wicked” urban problems that are making headlines. You will identify a case study that illustrates the highly political and controversial “wicked” nature of urban planning。

Search the news for articles addressing urban issues that fit the four criteria for “wicked” problems discussed in class. Your task for this assignment is to identify a real-life urban planning case study that illustrates the political, and often controversial, nature of the planning process. Case studies can be local or in another city, can relate to any of the functional areas of planning (e.g. transportation, housing, economic development, environmental planning, etc.), and may be project-specific or focused on larger comprehensive planning activities. Pick a case study for which you can find adequate details and information about the planning problem being addressed. You must find a minimum of three sources of information about your case study. All sources must be properly cited and referenced.

Write an essay that clearly addresses the following for the wicked problem you identified:

–Explain the background of the urban planning case study being addressed

–Discuss why the problem is a “wicked” one:

–Why is the problem itself difficult to define?

–Why are the causes of the problem uncertain?

–Why is there no obvious solution?

–How is the problem linked to other problems?

–Discuss the public sector and private sector participants and stakeholders involved in the case, and how

conflicting values and issues of power contribute to the controversy
