The Product

 

Pattern

As one may already notice, this is my tile pattern. I chose to add the screw area of the "Zico Coconut Water" bottle to be as my volume, the inside of the bottle to be as my plain and the line to be two pieces of paper that I made links with. If one looks more closely inside, one can see a eye, I did this because I wanted my project to be very "extraterrestrial". Not only that but I also wanted to cover the hollowness that is created inside.

Here is this tile when it is repeated:

Body Part Project

Sketches
I decided to make a character for this project. Because our school thinks very crucially about the environment, I decided to make a icon for Parsons. I wanted to make a women who represents mother nature, and the armour that is on the upper right half side of her body shows the protection for our environment. The black "squares" are pyramids, and I wanted to do that to show the protection and have more armour like look to it. Additionally, because I wanted to make a armour I decided to use metal sheets for the base and the pyramid of the armor and then cover the pyramid with black construction paper. I'm not sure if this will work out but I wish it does!

Product

This is my final product. I know it is far different from my original sketch but I like this product better than the other. This is because, I was able to transform my project into something that I can accomplish in a 2 week period, whereas if I were going to make my original one it would have token me an extra week. 

Egg drop

I made a container for the egg out of straws, rubber bands, wires, foam core, and shoulder pad cushion. I was successful and my form did not brake. However from the critiques, I learned that I should pay more attention to the connections next time.

Icosahedron

My hand project

I decided for my hand project to make a clutch. However as I worked throughout my project I found out few problems and thus I was not able to successfully complete my work. However, one outcome that I got from this project is that I was able to learn something and that is to if the design is too complicating I need to find a way to make the design work but more in a simpler way. 

Nature Hand

Nature Hands

1.) Octopus Tentacles

The octopus uses suction as hands to catch their prey and hold things. 

 2.) Dog Paws

Because mostly dogs walk on four feet and they do not have protection on their feet, they have small cushions to help them walk easily.

3.) Eagle Claws 

I thought claws on almsot every type of birds represented most closely to human hands. They use these claws to get a good hold of their prey or to hold on to things and not slip. Birds needs this function because it mostly lives on in trees and it is not a flat surface so unless they get a good hold of the branches they will slip. 

4.) Horse hands

Like the dog paws, horses also have a support system
on their feet.

 5.) Sea cucumber mouth

Like the tentacles on the octopus, sea cucumbers also use suction. Even  though this image is a picture of a mouth, sea cucumbers also utilises it to hold on to rocks so they do not just float in the ocean.

6.) Mosquito legs

Unlike the animals above mosquitos has long legs and hands so they can easily put their mouth needle inside a flesh.

 7.) Gecko hands

Gecko hands has the most grip because they mostly live on walls or on trees.

 8.) Lizard hands

Unlike the gecko, lizards have claws. This is because their habitat is different to geckos and it mostly live underground.

9.) Bat wings

Even though bats do not have hands, and they have wings, they utilises their wings as a hand also.It uses to hold on to trees and climb up some too.

 10.)Elephant trunk

Unlike many other animals elephants use their long trunks to just hold things and get their food easily to their mouth.
