Each department is taking turns to present a PD session on a Monday morning. This week was the turn of the Creative Arts department. We decided to focus on Maths and specifically, rhythm and pattern in music, design and art.
Last year, with my Year 11 design students, we had a go at using AI to visualise the design developments in 3D to help with their development drawings. Blog post about it here.
This year, I want to start bringing it in a little earlier to help the students to visualise designs in 3D. I used Adobe Express and gave it the prompt to design outside seating for 4 people made from wood. I switched the prompt about a bit with garden seating, park seating to see what it came up with. I saved the ones I liked out as images. I then started putting up some inspiration images for style and composition. Playing around with both of these gave some interesting different options. Any that I found I liked, I saved as an image. There were lots that I didn't like and this took quite a bit of time, switching images in and out and changing the prompts.
I put the designs that I saved onto a Google Drawing, link here, with the inspiration images. These will be used as starting points for concept development drawings in 3D. It is a good way to see the 3D form and see how the light hits it with highlights and shadows.
