- My sketches helped me initially get started and it also helped me visualized my cube. However, without graph paper, my sketches were confusing so I had to visualize my cube mostly in my head.
- Learning the schematic drawings was really cool and I know that it will be helpful in the future. I feel like I know how to draw a successful schematic blueprint for my projects and that I know all of the technical aspects of the drawing.
- My overall cube is pretty much the same as my drawings, however, the only place my "craft" didn't come through all the way was when cutting the wood. I would have the lines on the wood perfect but when using the round table saw, I would have the peices of wood a couple millimeters off causing slight cracks in the box.
Concept: Form and Function:
- My cube needed to be able to hold water and still work like a mug. However, I tried to make it look as simple as possible with it still having the function of a mug. I feel like I successfully did this and the cube looms simple and, more importantly, it works.
- I feel like I communicated my conceptual intentions very well given the feedback I received from my peers and Mr. O. Using this feedback, I was able to pick the right materials and have the right form while still making a functional box.
- Although we did not interact with a broader community outside of the classroom, I interacted with my peers to make sure I had a successful box. They helped me by giving me feedback on design and function and I helped them by giving out feedback on design and function as well as some knowledge on materials.
- Throughout this project, I realized how much I like using different materials to create a a physical project with function. Throughout survey, I was never really interested in drawing, painting, or taking pictures. I realized through this project that I am better at sculpture and I have more fun using different materials and power tools.
