3D Design day 3:

In the morning we were given the task of designing the spaghetti sculptures that would eventually hold 3 plastic balls. the sketchbook designs were meant to be bold, brave and experimental which i think i achieved by designing structures using certain shapes throughout i.e hexagons, cubes, triangles and rectangles. we were then asked to draw random scribbles all over the page and make that into a structure that could hold 3 balls, this was a lot of fun and got my brain working. the rest of the morning we spent actually making the structures, we were given 30 pieces of spaghetti and used glue guns to make them. I remember learning that triangles were the strongest shape so decided to make a triangular based pyramid, holding one ball in the middle, one on the top and one at the side. the pictures below show the finished result photographed with a pink filter. i really disliked this activity, the spaghetti kept breaking and the glue guns were really difficult to use, my hands kept shaking when trying to hold components still. however, having said this, i was pleased with my finished product!
