This week we discussed our next,possibly last, project for this class, designing and manufacturing a lamp out of either cardboard or ply wood. But before we can draft our lamp designs, our professor has made it a point for us to design ways to create basic shapes out of Cardboard. This way, we can better anticipate what the challenges will be when we do draft our lamps out. These are my results.
Craft: For this assignment, we continued on from the previous week in constructing with cardboard. Unlike the previous few weeks, we have returned to using physical tools to draft and manufacture modules and materials for easier use. This week, we used the same materials as we did last time constructing the abstract cardboard structures. We used a cutting mat, a utility knife or box cutter, ruler, adhesives, cardboard, pencil.
Composition: Much like the previous week, we had precut cardboard strips and panels, which we cut ourselves. We then worked with our knoves and rulers to cut out the desired shapes such as circles for cylinders and triangles for cones and pyramids. For the circuits, what I did was use a roll of tape to form the outline with a pencil and then I cut it out slowly to form the bases. In general, the process was cut the shapes and slots out, tape them or insert them into one another and presto! We're done. The hardest part was imagining and drafting out the way the pieces would fit together. Once that was accomplished, the rest was easy.
Concept: The concept of this project was fairly straightforward, create basic shapes and understand their use for when you're drafting the lamps.
