FOUNDATIONSAll creation begins with the laying of a foundation. This is the basis, the initial process, the groundwork from which
form, style and all other elements stem.

Once the foundation is established the artist can begin to use and experiment with the techniques,
elements and media to which they were first exposed. Foundations are the basis of structures. An artist’s structure begins with what they know
and continues with what they imagine.
STRUCTURES
The creation of the exterior ‘‘look’’ both depends on and affects the interior attitude and ambiance.

Facades are first impressions. With one look, they say it all. Although they are all designed differently, they should have the ability to capture the viewers’
curiosity and draw them inside.
The interaction a design creates with its user is vital to its success. Designing with an understanding of whom it
is being designed for and why it is being created allows the design to truly reach and attract its audience.

Emotions draw upon past experiences, familiar places, dreams and fantasies. Emotions take a project to a
different level by creating not only a space but also an interactive environment for the user.

Course: Fall 2010 Visual Studies Course Fast ForwardGroup: Megan Marini & Susana SimanProfessor: Jason IvaliotisProject: The Rabbit Hole
This project was part of the visual studies course FAST FORWARD which used V-ray rendering to create realistic scenes fully capturing a specific mood.
Initial Proposal:
The purpose of the space is to create a
personal oasis within the context of an
urban chaotic environment. The
images will lead the viewer through a rabbit
hole. The rabbit hole will act as the gateway
leading the visitor from an urban world
where nature is created by man, through his
art, to a fantasy world where nature itself creates the space. Essentially taking
you from man-made nature to a space that
is personalized to your comfort.
Divided into three still renderings evoking
three emotions: intrigue, mystic, &
comfort.
