Refined









    Of the five people I had who looked at my mashups, they all had the rose bow and arrow as one of their favorites. They liked the fantastical element and story that they created after looking at my object. So, because of that, I made my composition depict a story with the scene of the arrows being created and tested. Someone also suggested that having the rose replace the feather of the arrows would make more sense as an arrow. Because of that, I thought it would be interesting if I could have the two different types of arrows present.

    Remix culture is essentially just mixing/combining two or more objects to create a new object. Since I had decided to mashup roses with a bow and arrow, I believe that my project counts as remix culture. Given the fact that I do in fact combine a flower with a weapon, two physical things that have no connections. Along with the more symbolistic aspects of something fragile and pretty that I combined with something sturdy and deadly.

Project 7: Papercraft Objects: First Prototype

  Template Folded Final     In my refinement, I will be changing the shapes of the fan sticks to resemble the more traditional Chinese hand fan. I will make the first and last stick wider than the middle ones while also making sure it slowly tapers down. I will also be trying to thin out the fan sticks by folding/gluing a few strips of paper to make the middle sticks so that the overall fan will be thinner and can be held in one hand. Once I have changed the overall shape of the fan, I should be able to cut out and glue the fabric part of the fan together.

Project 9: 3D Hollow Form Object

Image
      After creating our own unique hollow 3D objects, my partner, Odin, and I went on to try and find a way to hybridize our two separate objects into one new form. My Objects Partner's Objects My Sketches Partner's Sketches Final Model 3D Object     We ended up using Odin's poly object as the base of our shape and mixed in two of my own objects. Using my twisted pyramid, we connected it to the base of Odin's poly object in order to give it some support like structures. Instead of closing/capping Odin's object, we instead stuck my twisted tree-like object at the top to make it resemble that of a drill. And in the end, we have this rocket ship-like form as our final hybrid.
