Model Reflection

I took my completed model into studio on Monday the 11th of March. In this class I got the chance to look at what other people had made and I thinking. Im actually not quite happy with how my model turned out.

The concept behind it made sense, however the execution and the the use of materials was not. I wasn’t a fan of the harshness of the black foam board and I also didn’t think that the cellophane plastic looked any good.

Not only did it not look any good, we were told in our Monday studio that the use of plastics in the making of our models is very mush so frowned upon. So that ruled out working with cellophane.

Also I did some research and it turns out that foam board (the main material of my model) is bad for the environment and is not sustainably disposed of.

I reminded myself that I trying to explore the idea of weightlessness, the sense that you are floating. So the use of black foam board doesn’t really make any sense!

So I decided that it was probably best to make another model..

Same concept – Same idea – Just new materials!
