FuBaBpEx Studio–Workshops Material is Expensive But Complexity is Free Studio/Concourse Foyer Details
Material is Expensive, But Complexity is Free
In traditional manufacturing, the more complex the shape, the more it costs to make. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, takes about the same time for simple shapes as for complex ones, but the materials used are more costly. This workshop teaches some design principles and introduces software tools to get the most from 3D printing.

Fu Courses Delivering Creative Feedback: A Workshop on Critique Room 406AB Details
Delivering Creative Feedback: A Workshop on Critique
Delivering useful, honest and effective feedback to creatives is one of the biggest daily challenges faced by producers, supervisors, teachers, etc. When critiques “feel” subjective, feedback loops can have negative effects on morale and production, regardless of the validity of the criticism.
Art and design students learn and practice critique every day during, but after they embark on their careers those skills are quickly forgotten. For professionals in technical and scientific fields, where solutions and hypotheses can be proven right or incorrect, giving feedback on subjective matters (where all answers are shades of grey) or providing constructive criticism face to face can be very challenging.
Whether you are dusting off old skills or learning critique techniques for the first time, this hands-on workshop provides a simple, effective framework for delivering actionable criticism to your team everyday, regardless of environment. The course shows attendees how to establish a structure for providing critique that works in creative, technical, and academic environments, and then focuses on some specific techniques for delivering feedback.
Topics include: “client” expectations, defining expectations, problem definition, and constraints in creative briefs that serve as the backbone for the project or assignment; methods for delivering feedback against the brief; and the importance of building and sustaining environments that sustain trust and foster open and direct feedback. Actual critique methods are practiced in small groups during the course.

Fu Courses Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization Room 408B Details
Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization
This course reviews the visual impact of specific color combinations and provides practical suggestions on digital color mixing for visualization.
The course begins by describing the red, green, Bbue (RGB) color model of color computer monitors (additive color) and the cyan, magenta, yellow and key black (CMYK) color model of printers and other output devices (subtractive color) and how to move between these two color models and other color models. Then it reviews color gamut, explaining that a color gamut and color model combine to define a color space, describes types of color systems such as the Munsell color system and the Pantone color-matching system, and introduces the color wheel and how to work with it to create digital media and visualizations.
Other topics include: digital color application illustrated by digital media and visualization examples inspired by artistic movements such as Pointillism, Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, and Color Field Painting; concepts introduced by Johannes Itten for successful color combinations and Josef Albers for understanding the interaction of color; and how color theories and tools are applied actual visualization projects.
The course concludes with a hands-on workshop session where attendees can work with online color scheme tools to build visualization color maps followed by a review of additional reading on applying color theory.
