Wired Up . 9:12 AM
For this we needed wires, wires and more wires. We had to create a cube, pyramid and a sphere out of the wires. The cube was to be 100 by 100 by 100 mm, the pyramid 100 by 100 mm in base and 100 mm in height and the sphere about 100 mm in diameters. It was not as easy as it seemed The wires being wires were flimsy in some sense and had to be controlled properly to make their forms look as they are and not disproportionate or even out of shape.
At one point i had wanted to increase the surface areas but that was not easy either as i had to be careful not to pull the wires too much least the edge gets pulled too.
There were also several approach to forming the objects. For the cube we could do it side by side and then joining them together or creating as much of the form with the wire uncut. After trying both, i prefered to use the second option as i found the final look more preferrable and easier to manipulate.
