Junior Portfolio 3D Design Final Projects
Mrs Silverman's Junior Portfolio 3D Design students are hard at work on their found object apparel and architectural design projects. After a series of introductory assignments and three-dimensional material investigations, students apply the design thinking process to their chosen project, either a wearable fashion design made out of found materials, or a site-specific architectural design for a client of their choosing incorporating sustainable features.
