Final Project

Today we did our final critique. Overall it went very well I enjoyed this project the best out of all of them. My original model was entirely different from the lamp shade I turned in for the final. I originally wanted to make a circular shape with tracing paper and strips of bristol paper, however, after trying to construct the shape into a perfect circle it never worked, so I had to think of a completely different way to shape it. I finally came up with the idea of cutting smaller strips of bristol paper and placing them randomly to make a circular shape. It turned out great with the light bulb in it and the lights off because the reflections of the scattered pieces reflected off the walls and made it look even better.

Light/Lantern project

Today everyone came in with their 3-5 designs and/or drawings. I am working on a design that consists of a circular shape with cut out strips that attach in the center. I was thinking of making a smaller circle inside a bigger circle. So far I have been playing around with it and I have thought about making small dots along the strips to make it more interesting. It was great to look at everyone else's designs and it helped me think of more ideas I can do with mine. I do not think this project is TOO difficult but it does take a lot of time...and money.
