Week 08 3D Design

In today's lesson we discussed our 3D Ideas and the materials we will be using, discussing as a group the best choices. 

GROUP EXERCISE – Concept Realisation
Selecting:

Materials tools equipment
Light bulbs, wire(coat hangers?), my chair from home, sewing machine, super glue, adobe CS5, scissors, electricity chord, power plug, printer, etc.

Discuss your choice of the above as a group – give reasons

In class we discussed the light bulbs and there cost, as Josie works at Becon Lighting. We discussed the best possible choice of light bulb and concluded with the Halogen sort. We figured a coat hanger would be the cheapest and easiest way to go with wire and the electricity side, Josie said would be easy. So that was a relief. 


PRACTICAL – Concept Realisation

Work on your 3D Exhibition piece(s)

Here are some sketches I did that I designed myself that I thought would be cool and fun to make. I decided I needed a back up plan if my chandelier idea failed. It is a risky assignment as there are many challenges I may face. My biggest one at the moment is the cost. I am worried its going to be really expensive...

Reference: sketches by me

This video is awesome! I love the colours and how the paint falls. Love this effect. So bright and beautiful. If I choose to do this for my 3D Design I would either use a splash effect or a drip effect. If I have time to after creating the lamp.
