Graphics: ear drawings

Our brief for the challenge was to draw peoples faces but by using different ways of doing so, for example we had to use our left hand, put the pen in our mouth, one blind folded and one continous line.

3D Design: structure created out of spaghetti that could hold three plastic balls

Our brief was to create a structure out of dry spaghetti that could hold three plastic balls without them touching each other, as the spaghetti was very brittle with little bend it was also very prone to breaking, i found that using a number of strips together reinforced my design and made it stronger, i also used my knowledge from previous tasks and continued to use the  triangular and x shapes to create a strong successful structure that supported three plastic balls that did not make contact. 

3D design: building a stable bridge.

We had to create a stable bridge that would support a remote control car as it drove over it, also it had to be tall enough to fit a table underneath it. This time we had to work as a group so we soon came up with many ideas, we decided that X and triangle shapes were the strongest so we focused on using many of them for the structure.

Our second challenge of the day was to create another structure that could support ourselves, so it had to be on a bigger scale and hold a lot more weight, our medium was cardboard so it was quite strong and easy to manipulate, with my knowledge from the previous exercise i simply repeated my techniques for a successful outcome.    

3D design paper structure

Our challenge was too create a structure strong enough to support a full water bottle but could be no bigger than 20cm high, i incorporated tubes and triangular forms as i knew they were strong shapes, i was successful in this part of our challenge as it managed to with stand the weight of the water bottle.
