Week 3 and 4: Wire Sculpting Units
The Cuboid, Pyramid and Perfect Sphere
Cuboid wire sculpture
My Challenges: (30 words)
the wire was very crooked when I tried to bend it so it was difficult to get the shape of the cube and it was challenging to make the cube stand as the wire was very wobbly
My Strategies to overcome them: (30 words)
I tried to bend the wire along a ruler so it would be straighter and I left excess wire so that after I tied the sides together I could still secure the sides more so that the structure was more stable
Week 5: Design Draft
Making Abstract Art Pop
Design Draft 1
Design draft of my 3D Abstract Artwork
Design draft of my 3D Abstract Artwork
Describe your intentions and process plan.
WHAT am I making: I am making a mushroom house
HOW do I plan to do this: I plan to do this by making a cuboid, a cube, and a sphere to make the main structure of the building, then make curve waves to connect the square and the sphere
WHY (intention): We did this so that we can get a abstract structure that is unique
