Gateway through a learning experience

Model of the exterior space where our gateway was going to erected.

First ideation. The groupd models. We all had the same basic idea.

How to make it structurly stable. This idea was actually used to hold up our arch.

The group deep in though.

OCULUS!

Looked cool as a model but completly was defiying gravity.

EPIC FAIL

arches were cardboard ovelapped and bolted together.

"holy cow that big"

trip to Lowes. We met with our friend Andre who helped figure out how much wood we needed.(he also supplied us with cardboard) "THANKS ANDRE!"

A lot of wood and not enough car space.

Basic frame shape.

Attempting a sort of pannaling system which was then removed.

Ok, so we got the thing up...now what?

Well i like oculi so lets install that.

an arch! I guess we can stand here for our critique. they'll never notice.

we actually added beams like in one of out sketch models.

wall paper to block out the light.

the final product.

This was deffinatly a learning experience. The actual project didn't go as planned but i have learned what i could have to to make it work much better.

cardboard, bottles, and ballons OH MY

Vanessa's challege: 15 minute sketch model
Trying to attach our sketch model and by the way we made it through the challenge with time remaining

Next step was to collect all the bottle we needed. This included dumster diving. Very fun, I'm just glad it was only recycling.

We had to rince out all the bottle and remove the caps and papers. This took for ever!

We wanted to have the pannels that went in and out. I had to figure out the dimentions to make it fit snug into the window frame so it could hold itself up.

Saturday in the Iarc lobby. Here we were trying to coordinate all of out windows. We drew the outline of the shape we wanted then went off on our own to create our individual pannels.

SKETCH MODEL #1

I decided to play with another material and I chose balloons because they were colorful and i was interested to see how the light would interact with them.

TAH-DAH! my window!

This is the final product which was a succcess

Happy birthday brother

So, i decided to draw the boys at my brother's birthday party but since they are boys they just could not sit still. Before i finished my drawing they all ran away.

INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE

THIS IS A QUOTE FROM ONE OF MY FRIENDS. I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZINGLY FUNNY DUE TO THE FACT HE WAS SO SERIOUS WHEN HE SAID IT.

studio can be very interesting

so corry sits next to me and makes me laugh every day. in this drawing i was seeing what i could do with just water color. it was much harder than it looked!

TREE HUGGER!

I HAD FOUND A VARIETY OF CHARCOALS AND SEPIA COLORED PASTELS FROM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I WAS PROCRASTINATING. TADAH!
