Project 5 Chess Pieces & Cookie Cutter

Chess Pieces

For this assignment you will be creating one of the current chess pieces and one alternative piece. 


King - Graham, Heather

Queen - Kelsey, Meaghan

Bishop - Mikaela, Carrie

Knight - Will, Zsofia

Rook - Anna, Hali

Pawn - Melissa, Sophia

All your pieces should be sized correctly compared to each other and must fit on a chessboard properly.

Chess board squares measure 57mm


Max Chess piece sizes are as follows:

Maximum Width = 36mm

Maximum Height = 75mm

 Lets consider the design of our chess set.

We will be creating two different types of design to designate the different sides of our chess set. One side will be based on Organic shapes, the other is based on Geometric shapes. 

Cookie Cutters

For this part of the assignment you will be creating a cookie cutter. The cookie cutter should challenge the tradition of cookies/cookie cutters. You can create anything you want.

Cookie cutter dimensions
back layer = 3mm tall

mid layer = 9mm tall

outside layer = 13mm tall
