Assignment 4

Our group created three mechanisms: one can rotate 360 degrees, one can slowly rise and then drop quickly, and one can steadily rise and descend. Using these three mechanisms, we built a scene of two birds circling and playing in the water. I made the white bird. I fixed its body to the part of the mechanism that moves up and down, attached two wires to its wings, and then secured the wires to a stationary base, making the bird appear to flap its wings.
