Quick Mock Ups using aluminum foil, cardboard, wire, thread, tape and foam.
Sketches of the real model demonstrating the outline, the core and the way it would come to open and close.
Final two pieces before connecting them together.
FINAL MODEL
For project 1 we had to pick a symbol that represents the way we are seen by society and the way we see and identify ourselves. I am a very quiet and introverted person and it takes me a while to open up to outsiders which is why I picked a shell as my symbol because I love hiding away in my own bubble. For the project we had to use linear materials to create our symbol in 3D. I choose to use wood because I never worked with it before and it had a quality and feel to it that I really enjoyed. I first started by listing words and creating my mood board. After I decided what my symbol was I started making quick mock ups using cardboard, aluminum foil, wire, foam and thread. Once I had an idea of how I wanted it to look I started doing quick sketches in order to visualize my imagination. drawings of how. For our final model, we had to use mechanical connectors to put everything together. This project was a real challenge but I truly enjoyed working on it and my end result. I also loved experiencing with materials that I had never used before.
