Six ways of reaching the apex to A+B+C

1. I began my assembly of parts A, B and C in no particular way. I changed the rotation, size and order of my shapes whichever way I felt at the time. I was experimenting and had no particular idea of what kind of shape could come out.
Looking closely at my form after awhile, I began to think it looked like a snowflake. I decided to follow this idea more carefully when I added my further pieces.




2. Photographs of snowflakes. No two are the same.




3. FRACTALS- shapes made up of mini versions of the same shape. A snowflake is a fractal. These coils are fractals... coils inside bigger coils inside bigger coils inside etc
This differs from my work because there is a systematic approach towards the assembly of shapes whereas I added my pieces with no system whatsoever.




4. Unfinished top view of 'snowflake' and a random quantity of pieces A, B and C. They are irregular in number because of the ecclectic order in which I assembled my object. However, at first I copied an equal amount of each part. So my snowflake will be made of equal parts but disorderly combined.

At this point I am adding my tubes as prongs of the snowflakes and these are the core of the shape.


5. Right hand view of 'snowflake' and the assorted parts ready to be added. At this stage, it is close to reaching the apex but needs more dimension from all sides and angles.




6. A photograph I found of ice crystals.
Perhaps a form of snowflake or parts of a snowflake.
These are more representative of my work, they fall in no apparent order, size, rotation.

A,B & C

In making these objects... as I am not really a pro with rhino, I had to make adaptions.
Such as... making the tube round instead of flat.

Industrial Type Drawings for Project 2

Simplistic first drawings. Nature and buildings as planes and geometric shapes.
Attempt at drawing buildings and parts of buildings in 3D with the back planes all drawn in. A skeletal effect.
Drawing buildings as purely geometric shapes and not worrying about scale or size.
Drawings from an internal place in The Hub. There is room for more detail and perhaps smaller shapes.
These are the final A,B and C shapes I will be using for my final project.

Parts of Final Drawing

The length and width in between arrows signify the speed of the object.

Final Drawing: A Ring Falling

This is a drawing using AutoCad and working with vectors to show the movement and forces acting on a ring as it falls.

Rough sketch of final piece

The movement path of the bubble is my favourite piece out of all the drawings I did in nature.
It's movement is also what I think would be the most similar to the movement path of a ring rock falling.
I tried drawing in a straight line but this proved uninteresting so I drew my vectors facing outwards like spikes and reflecting the motion of the rock of the ring not just the direction.
Lines are lengthened for speed and also pushed closer together.
I hope to give the impression of twisting, turning and bouncing with my ring vectors.

Drawing Movement by the Creek

This is the movement of a duck: diving, eating and swimming. The second line of movement is of a piece of wood stuck between rocks and moving in a current.
These are the movements of a fly, a bubble in the waterfall current (my personal favourite) and a map of the movement of a patch in the stream.
This is a map of the movement of the waterfall.
These lines of movement show water behind a rock and the flight of leaves on a tree.
These are my beginning drawings, they show the movement of a little leaf on a soft branch, some flax and a daisy. I like the different shapes the different pieces make.

This final page shows the movement of leaves on a tree and blades of grass with vectors. We can see how big and in what direction the movement is.
