Overview
In this project students will learn how to use 3D scanning and 3D printing to make surrealist sculptures. Following an introductory video about Surrealism by Curious Muse, students will participate in a skill-building tutorial to design an example sculpture in Meshmixer software. They'll then use a design method called image search boards to collate images on multiple topics before using them as inspiration to come up with surprising and bizarre object combinations. Once a final combination has been selected, 3D scanning, 3D design and 3D printing will be used to bring a unique sculpture to life.
