ABSTRACT
Students of all ages are motivated to learn to think and work in 3D. They see it in movies such as The Incredibles and Chicken Little. They see it in television shows such as Max Steel and Jimmy Neutron. They see it in their video games. It is an integral part of their world. It makes sense, then, that they can be taught the essence of 3D graphics by letting them create their own 3D scenes. This paper presents a program called shapes. It allows kids of all ages to create their own 3D scenes that are interesting and compelling. By gently and subtly weaving Cartesian coordinates throughout the program, the kids learn about X, Y, and Z without even knowing they are learning it.

Cubification and animation of artistic shapes
SCA '17: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer AnimationThis poster describes an original approach to creating static and dynamic sculptures in a cubist style. We propose a novel method for faceting and local distortion thus adding cubist features and generating time-variant sculptural shapes. We introduce ...
Space-time cubification of artistic shapes
SIGGRAPH '17: ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 PostersThis poster describes an original approach to producing artistic shapes in a cubist style. We propose mathematical models and algorithms for adding cubist features to (or cubification of) time-variant sculptural shapes as well as a practical ...
Animated Futurist Sculpting as Dynamic Implicit Shapes
SIGGRAPH '21: ACM SIGGRAPH 2021 PostersIn this work, we present an approach to obtain futurist sculptures. Our approach is inspired by the works of Italian Futurist artists such as Umberto Boccioni. Futurism, as an art movement, aims to achieve to define forms that are a product of time but ...
