Progress models:
Variables for Progress:
I wanted to follow a system of symmetry, but if you rotated it would seem like a different pattern. That way the view of how it made could be differentiated from the ways I could rotate it, but at some point, it would still have that balance. I also wanted to focus on connections. How two pieces could meet either with the help of glue or without it. I created different slots where another piece of wood could go in and create a connection.
Variables from Monday 3/30 Review:
On Monday’s review, we saw many models that played with different forms. In Carson’s model, we saw the use of balsa sticks and some metal pieces for materials. In the first iteration, the model almost seemed symmetrical. It also seemed as if they were stacked on each other like bricks. Each of the pieces stacked had the same geometric shape, just differentiating from a square and a rectangle. Differents forms were created, when he photographed them at different rotations and angles. In his second iteration, spacing/gaps were more noticeable than the first. In Adeline’s models, some of them almost seemed 2-dimensional. There was one that looked very dimensional, where the plastic hints at going through the cardboard, like a weaving pattern. For these, to make it more noticeably dimensional, the arches in the plastic could be higher than one another or lower. In Ximena’s model, the different use of materials in one model worked well. Looking like a kind of contrast. The wood planks in the concrete were placed in rows, each row at a different level. In Eissa’s model, it followed a similar structure, like Carson’s, where the material being used, tile blocks, were stacked onto each other.
