Smarter Interior Space

OBJECTIVE

• Redesign an interior space in your house or school to be more efficient (movement, storage, activity)
• Create this space using clay slabs and other clay building techniques.

Sketchbook Planning (10 mins)

• Think of a space that you use frequently that might be designed inefficiently (small closet, cluttered kitchen, unorganized art room:-)

BEFORE GETTING CLAY

• Create a sketch of a smarter designed space using ISOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE
• What space are you redesigning?
• What problem are you solving with your redesign?

ISOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE

• Comes from the Greek for "equal measure", reflecting that the scale along each axis of the projection is the same (X, Y, Z axes)

LIGHT & SHADOW

• How are shadows cast in your space?
• Where is the light source coming from?
• How do you create watercolor shadows WITHOUT using black?

• Have walls and floor constructed with score/slip/seal.
• TEXTURE - What are the floor, inside and outside walls made of?
