Final Project: Recollection of Objects

Reaction Paper: The problem for this project was to create a toy or game by reusing found, collected or recyclable objects. I approached the problem by taking an old pair of pajamas and using that and some feathers from my mother to create a teddy bear. i did not quite like this project for the reason that, for one, the sewing of his face was difficult for me because I am not used to sewing details. Also, I did not like the fact that I did not have the cotton that I wanted to use to stuff the bear. The feathers were a bit too pointy for a child to have. Though it did not turn out the way I like and I had some negatives in finishing, I am happy with what I was able to do with the project.

Polyhedrals: Phase A and B

Phase A

Phase B

Reaction Paper: The problem for phase A of the polyhedrals project was to create a 3 dimensional mask using polyhedral forms and the design should include at least 3 polyhedral shapes. I approached this problem by first making the base of my mask a large polyhedral. I then decorated it with 3D stars and created a polyhedral shape for the nose. The problem for phase B was to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a 3D sculpture. I approached this problem by taking a basic polyhedral, a cube, and layering it until I received some sort of form. I cut out some small images to give the structure some positive and negative space. I ran into a few problems during this polyhedral project section. For one, I had a hard time finding a well enough shape for phase A to use for my mask face. Also, I didn't have the materials at the time to add more bold colors. In phase B, I initially wanted to create a wave but with the way I was layering it, the cubes would not say. I didn't particularly like this project due to the difficulty I had in using the polyhedrals.
