We then spent the afternoon learning about and getting to grips with one point and two point perspective, which i enjoyed as i hadnt done it before, however i did find it quite difficult to draw anything other than square shapes, but i think after more practice i would probably be able to change that and improve what i can do.
One point perspective is when everything 'dissapears' into one point on the page and two point is when everything dissapears into two points on the page.
On our second day in 3D we spent the morning mainly drawing. We had to draw an object as a line with no tone as all, just the lines. We then had to do the same in ink. For this activity Richard gave us objects that we werent neccessarily familiar with, so we were really observing them and not just making them up. I enjoyed doing this with the pencil as i am a bit of a neat freak and this work looked very neat. However i didnt enjoy working with the ink as i felt that everything i made just looked like a mess and didnt look like anything good, however this did end up giving me inspiration for what we did later on.
In the afternoon we started working in more of a 3D way, producing 3D designs that were inspired by our drawings. I decided to work with the dents that were in the peg i had drawn earlier.Afterwards i started working with Jo on a shape that she wanted to create, which was inspired by a bell shape. We created this by starting with a pattern that was the same as a sleeve pattern, which i was familiar with after doing my textiles A Level.
On the final day we used the laser cutter to create some kind of object inspired by what we had started the day before. Katy and I decided to work with the shapes i had created the day before but make them into circles instead and attach them in somwe way. We first did a prototype with 4 circles to make sure that it would actually work how we wanted it too. When we had done this we moved onto the computer to create our design for our laser cut piece. However, we could only have an A3 piece of polypropaline, so we had to make sure that our circles fit onto this. We decided to cut out 6 circles as we thought this would make a more interesting shape compared to 4 circles. Again i have added a photo in of what the finished product looked like.
We thought that the product could be an interesting lamp shade or a cover for a lantern.
I didnt really enjoy the 3D week at first as, like i have said, i didnt enjoy working with the ink and couldnt seem to get anything out of it, however, when it came to doing the 3D work i enjoyed it a lot more as this is what i enjoy doing and seeing the final product definitely made it worth while.
