GEOMETRY OF NATURE AND PLATONIC SOLIDS 

2D Drawings of the Five Regular Polyhedrons or Platonic Solids

We started the semester by exploring the flower of life and its relation to geometry and different platonic solids. It was difficult and confusing at first since I am not familiar to working with mathematical projects. However it was interesting to me how each solid connect with each other and the flower of life pattern. I got on track very soon and learnt a lot about geometry.

3D Model of the Nest of the Five Solids

When our class made our illustrations and models, we were divided into groups and were assigned colors to mix different tones and shades from. I find that process pretty effective but it was a little confusing for me when we painted since the paints got misplaced and a lot of us were unable to find the color we wanted.

This was the project that I found most interesting since it was my first try experimenting with model making, especially with platonic solids that requires immense precision. I think it was a great experience for me to create something with care and calculation before executing the idea.

This course allowed me to explore materials that I have never used for art-making before. I learnt how to manipulate materials like wire, plastic sheets and pipes. I believe that these skill I have developed would be useful in the future when I make 3D pieces. I also developed problem solving skills throughout the course which would also be beneficial in the future.
