Answer 1

I am, primarily, a 2D designer, working in various media. (although, in recent years, I have gone, nearly, 100% digital for paying clients)

Still, I dabble in 3D work, on occasion. Mostly, I do this for fun and to explore new directions of artistic endeavor. I have done what I think of as excellent wire sculptures and many creative pieces in macrame. I also sew quilts and hand puppets for family and friends.

Another thing I love to do is to take out my set of Tinker Toys and K'nex construction sets. I tend not to make "traditional" assemblages, like houses, and carnival rides, (although I have,) but more often, I push the limits of what these toys can do, such as creating animals in natural poses, or other, organic critters, like angels and dragons.

All of these forms are, as much, "engineering" exercises as they are artistic projects. Wire sculptures have to stand on their own, so I can't just think about depicting the form of a subject, I have to work on how the component parts will be fit toghether. I have to think about how a hand puppet dragon can me made, "believabe" and workable in fabric. With the Tinker Toys and K'Nex, the size and fit of the parts limit what I can shape the pieces into.

In other words, these projects force me to think about how things fit and how things work. When new artists ask me about what they can do to improve artistic, especially, drawing skills, I advise them to draw from real life, and not to limit themselves to any category of subject. The more they draw, the more they can see how things work and how they fit into the real world. Nothing exists in a vacuum. Everything occupies space and all space interacts with everything in it.

Practice outside of one's specialty teaches how ALL the world works. That knowledge can be applied to the speciality.

Answer 2

Ach, I answer the same as your same type of Q in "EVENT"
Gud bye!
I'll advise you son....don't let what your teacher's way of writing be use same in your Q....be a little more artistic in presenting your Q, not the way you copied on the black board....you got me son?
Okey, pls try a better one next time. Its alright, I understand you, you are a liitle bit so lazy and maybe a classmate taught you simply to let the Yahoo7 Answers do your homework. No way my son, users of Y/7A are brilliant users...so you must do same.

The saying goes: WHEN YOU ARE IN ROME, DO WHAT THE ROMANS DO! Think of it son, okey.....try!
