My past two projects didn't go super well in my eyes, and I thought it would be best if I made something simple. Sadly, Mrs. Abrams had a different vision for me. I decided to take her idea and run with it. This project required 6 square slabs, and 6 sets of 4 differently shaped scalene triangles. First the 6 slabs would be used to create a square, Then, each set of same sized triangles would extrude from one side of the square, creating a pyramid.]]> 2018-06-02 05:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265127233 tylers3803 https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265127469 This one one of easiest parts of the project. I did have fun learning how to bevel the edges, and i enjoyed the process. However, this was when I started to realize I bit off more than i could chew. I asked someone else to show me how to bevel the edges of the triangle slabs I had made. In there example, they had used the wrong side of the tool. Being a very observant individual. I made sure to use the same side they used, not knowing it was wrong. This resulted in me having to remake all 24 triangles and redo all the templates.

I was quite sad that it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but I spend 2 weeks free-handing a very complex grid style of art. The art is typically used to develop video games, but i used it because it was all straight lines and I felt that it matched the project. This part seemed to catch people's eye so I kept it, even though I had the urge to change it a few times. Overall, I think that if the lines were a few millimeters deeper it would have been a lot more aesthetically pleasing. I also put my ventilation holes in at this times to refrain from needing to do it when the project was in a less sturdy configuration. In the picture, you can see the interior design, ventilation holes, and additive clay that acted as a reinforcement for the base.]]> 2018-06-02 05:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265127802 tylers3803 https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128118 This was the first time I put the triangles on. It went well, but it took a ton of time and tears, I wanted it to not meet in the middle because it seemed original, but I didn't realize what this entailed in terms of working with the clay. I had to score and slip for 2 full days because they couldn't hold up there weight. The slabs were structrally fine, but the mending of the clay wasn't working in my favor. I then realized that i could follow the same process, but after I packed the inside seems with clay. This process worked and taught me a ton. I then used what I learned on the rest of the project.]]> 2018-06-02 05:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128118 tylers3803 https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128241 As seem in this picture, the project stopped being enjoyable, and instead I knew that i had to rush to meet the deadline. I tried my best to get the sides to be even and symmetrical. To do this, I kept trimming the triangles, but still it didn't turn out to my liking. This took another few days and led to a lot of stress.]]> 2018-06-02 05:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128241 tylers3803 https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128306 This is picture that shows all the sides. Even though it wasn't what I wanted, I valued the things I learned and was able to use them on the free choice project. Little bit sad, but it was a good experience overall. This was before all the finishing touches were made, to show how it looked without any sugar coating. If I could fix anything, it would be the attention to detail. I think a struggle that hurt me a lot, was the changing of teachers. Both teachers were great, but they had different instructions and ways of doing things. It wasn't a bad thing and ended to me learning from both perspectives. I viewed this project more as a learning period because from the start, I knew it was beyond what I was confident in making.]]> 2018-06-02 05:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tylers3803/64429srwwrg5/wish/265128306
