3d models . 8:37 AM

From the tesselations, we were suppose to pick a row from one of our 3 tesselations and make copies of the outlines. We were also required to aquire satay sticks and make 10 by 10 cm cubes out of them.

Thereafter we had to turn 3 of the 2d Tesselations into 3d. We had to cut out the shapes of the copies of the tesselations and 3dlise them in anyways that we would like into the cube as long as the whole facade looks like the one cube looks like the square of the 2d tesselation which we have cut out the 2d from. For me this took quite alot of time as i had to think parts by parts how i would want them to be and how it could come together as a whole. In fact it took me the whole night to complete just one.

From the 3 cubes, we were to pick one and create the fourth one using ZO cards. This fourth one would have to be in ways usable by humans. To do this, we had to imagine little people being able to move through the model and use it. Turning parts of the planes into walkways, tables, chairs, walls and the like.

Laselle grad show . 4:59 PM

We went to Laselle's grad show when the term started. They have a really nice campus. I really like their doors too! They have cool doors which can swivel 180 degrees.

Their works are also really interesting. I personally like their newspaper-designed glass panels. Not that i am fond of newspapers but i also like this work by a student which had really intricate cuttings of if i can remember correctly, buildings out of newspaper.

There was also another work by another student which i can remember more was this photo of chairs arranged very neatly, very orderly at one end but if you look just a while longer you will realise the chairs in the foreground are a mess. This work was also interesting and i am still curious what the artist's own interpretation.
