| November 2006 | Throughout the month of November, Tom Fleming’s 3D Design class (Art 112) exhibited large scale affluenza related products in the wide concourse hallway of UWMC. This is an affluenza adaptation of an annual assignment dealing with scale and ratio. For the project, each student had to select a consumer product and enlarge it proportionally until it was big enough that they could fit inside of it. The super-sized objects were judged on their difficulty and accuracy. PHOTO | ||
