For the final project, our group wanted to play around with the intersection between 2D and 3D art.
Initially, we planned on experimenting with 3D printing on fibre—particularly on crinoline—and attaching it onto a 2D figure. The idea was to render the clothing textures of the 2D figure using 3D printed materials to mimic a paper dress up doll.
However, after our group continued to refine our concept, we realized that the process of 3D printing onto fibre at the size we wanted would take a little longer than anticipated. So, we ended up experimenting with different ways of 3D printing to work towards the idea we had. Although it didn't quite end up a finished project, we did learn a lot from the experience. Primarily that 3D printing takes a lot of time.
Personally, I might have found a process I particularly enjoyed and might pursue over the summer, which is 3D printing with a 3D printing pen.
