3D Studio seems like such an intense program. There are so many more options, especially with perspective that just change everything for the better. Having four sections on the screen visible at the same time eliminates many difficulties that I ran into with SketchUp. I am still trying to find the downloads for my computer, but I’m sure with just a little bit more hunting, I’ll be able to find it…or at least I hope so. For now, I am spending quite a bit of time just watching tutorials for 3D Studio, to get a better feel for the program. However, I think that just practice, through assignments, and messing around will help the most.
This first image is my sketch for the week. I find that when I just sit down to sketch my mind goes blank and nothing but the same old images cross my mind. Although I don’t have great sketches by any means, I am having so much more fun just sketching the second an idea pops into my head. A bird just falling off a cliff seemed too tragic, so I felt a safety net would be a decent compromise. Plus the little bird following after its mother made it that much more quirky.
The second image is one by an Australian artist, Erna Motna. Because we are getting into 3D stuff I have been looking at and valuing perspective so much more than before. To me, this image was totally unreadable. But after doing a little bit more searching I found that it depicted an aerial shot of fires, hunters, and animals. It is so interesting how differently; cultures portray various scenes from their everyday lives. Being able to think differently helps an individual stand out, and make a difference.

Finally I have one of my favorite Escher pieces posted. His work is all about perspective and eye tricks. Stairs that blend with walls and ceilings perfectly are at first believable, then obviously mind boggling in how it somehow comes together. Again, a whole new take on perspective changes everything in this image to make it bizarre, unique, and interesting beyond compare. I found this MC Escher piece at http://stark.udg.es/~emili/docent/diversio/escher/Treppenhaus.jpg
