In the Three Dimensional Design competition, participants will transform creative concepts into tangible works of art. Using form, space, texture, balance, and structure, students will design and create an original three-dimensional piece that demonstrates imagination, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design while incorporating the theme, Legends in the Making.
