3DD Making A Bridge

I was given a challenge to create a bridge from just 8 pieces of A1 card and bamboo sticks and celotape, this bridge would have to hold a romote control car that would travel across it. The stucture I created had to hold the car and enable it to travel from one point to another. The distance between each point was about 20 feet long or longer from the staring point to the finishing point. however only two pilllars could touch the floor. This challenge involved me working in a grpoup of 7 people.
The first thing we had to do was sketch different ideas of what structure that we would form. We then narrowed down our different ideas to one that we felt would support the car. The base that would support the car was made out of flat cardboard. Then we decided to create the pillars, to do this we cut the carboard in half to create more to use for the base. We also created bareiers so that the car did not fall off the bridge. Once we finished we noticed that our bridge was slightly slaunted, however we used this to our advantage, to challenge our teacher to get adcoss the bridge successfully. The out come was successful as the car travelled the whole journey and did not fall off and our bridge did not collapse.

 

Ideas for the bridge

 



3DD-Making a structure that held up three balls

For this challenge I had to create a structure that supported three balls, however all three ball could not touch and the structure had to be 30cm off the ground. This structure had to be made out of 20 pieces of dried spaggeti and a hot glue gun. I started by sketching different ideas in order to come up for my final stucture, having done that I came up with the idea of having boxes stacked on top of each other. I started glueing the side panel for each box togther. This was quite difficult because the pieces would not hold togther, so I found myself adding more and more glue. Each of the three side panel had a square shape, as well as a X shape in which would insure that the balls would be secure. After I  decided that the next step would be to start create the base (bottom) of each box. I followed out the same process, adding the X shape so that the ball did not fall through. I carried out this process to make the rest of the levels of the tower. This idea was a success as it held all three balls, which did not touch.

 

I was then asked to support the structure I made as my teacher was going to throw a unkown object at it, so I had to protect my structure. My challenge involved me only using 1 A1 paper and 2 sheets of A4, that would be stuck together with glue. My first step was to scrunch up papper in a variety of sizes in which was added inside my stucture to support it againstg force. I then scrunched up paper and put it ove each panel. Having done this, I wrapped up paper around the whole structure. The final outcome involved my teacher throwing a basketball at my protected structure. My structure was successful in my opinion as it took him four attempts for my structure to collapse, however it still did not fully collapse until my class mate stamped on it.

 

3DD-Making a object that hold's human wieght (seat)

For this challenge I was asked to create a object that would hold up the wieght of a human for atleast 30 seconds. This task involved me only using four sheets of cards and masking tape. To do this i paired up with a friend and the firth thing we decided to do is sketch different structures; to get the idea of the different shapes, structures and forms that we would need to create in order to make this object. We realised that we had to focus on a systamatic stuctuture for the inside of the seat, in order for it to hold up a person. Next thern started to measure and cut the card. To do this we folded the card and let it take its own shape, which turnt out as a hexagon. From there we knew that we would have to measure each and every piece of card that we cut. All  the pieces os card had to be 30cm high. Afteer doing this we put the first to pieces of card as a cross shaped a put a slit in the middle of them so that they where both attached to one another. From there we decided to add four more pieces of card that was the same size, to fit in the hexagon base; this was the base structure that we relied on to hold up the person. Finally we cut out a top for the person to sit on.

 

 

3DD- Making an object out of paper that would hold a water bottle

This project challenged me as it made me think and compose a idea that had to resolve the problem, which involved me comming up with a idea in which I had to put together a paper componet that held up a water bottle. To do this I was given instructions, which was to only use 1 A4 paper and a arms length of tape to put it all together. I decided to do this by ripping papper and scruppling it. I then taped each piece together to make a base for support. Aftr doing this I ripped more paper and twisted four pieces togther also i tapped it to the base, which would caved the bottle in so thst it wouldnt fall out.

Once the piece was finished, I tested it to make sure it worked, it was successful and held the full water bottle.

My Review On Tate Modern

Structure And Clarity

The structure and clarity exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery portrayed the work of Dan Flavin, who's dazzling, atmospheric works use mass produced fluorescent lights arranged in simple linear from. His work contained a simple layout of lights, using different compositions. I enjoyed his work, as it lit up the room with its bright light, making it a joy to watch.





















                  
The Untitled by Dan Judd, Colorist is a vibrant celebration of colour in the form of a homage to the sculpture Donald Judd. The bright colours represent excitement and happiness. I enjoyed it because it bring joys to peoples life’s; creating smiles across their face, a light to peoples life.

Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. Piet Mondrian, Composition C, is a mature painting, he narrowed his paintings to use only primary colours. The division of the canvas creates irregular patterns, within an ordered geometric whole. The lines represent a on going journey. A Journey that never stops. This is an abstracted painting, that represents a spiritual and utopian ideas.

The work of Wassily Kandinsky, Swinging is an oil painting. "There title swinging conveys the paintings sense of dynamic movement, suggested by the rhythms of modernity." (Tate Modern, Swinging, 2013, www.tate.org.uk) Kandinsky focused on spiritual in art. He used bright colours to construct art from naturalistic appearances. The bright vibrant colours jump out of the page. The piece is full of different geometrical shapes, from triangles to circles ect, however the composting of each shape connects and works well together. The shapes look like they have been layered onto each other. The piece portrays mystery, it lets the mind explore and create its own imagery. Allowing us to imagine whatever we want the image to be to us, letting us interoperate it as we like. I personally think this piece was to minimalistic and dull as it don't not have a lot to it, explore different shapes and colours.
