Polymorph was an interesting and convenient material which can be easily formed by hand. I tried to find problems and solved problems with polymorph in this ILA.

the first object I made is a pen holder, because I found my fingers hurts badly after I drew or write for a long time holding the hard pen. So I tried to solve this problem with polymorph. I firstly melted this material and stick on to the pencil I used to sketch, the I press the fingerprint on it and leave it till dry. This product is useful to me in the sketching ILA later on.

Then I made an object used to put chopsticks on during a meal. I found there was no place to put the chopsticks before I get eating at my apartment, and the chopsticks might get dirty if put it on the table. Therefore, forming a mountain shape small object with polymorph help with it.

this object is my favorite one because it is really useful while I went to the supermarket or go shopping. I sometimes really struggle with carrying too many bags in each hand which made my hands hurt. Therefore, with the help of this ring with a hook on it, can help to reduce the pressure to the hand and can carry more bags.

then I made an object which is used while I polishing my nails, my fingers kept moving and was not stable while doing it. With the help of this object, it can make my fingers steady and keep them apart.

the last one is made for the Halloween , I dressed up as a witches in the Halloween party. Therefore I made a white nail for myself to fit the whole outfit.

According to the study in the first five weeks, I have learned and experienced lots of different techniques and skills in 2D and 3D exercises. For example building composition with cardboard or plastics cuboids, which is an interesting ILA for me to see so many shapes can cuboids form to. What’s more, in the light basket exercise, I built a small basket with thin wire although I was a little bit struggling with cutting and bending. However, playing it with the light to get the shadow in lines has a lots of fun.

I also tried 2 point, 3 point and rotated plan drawings in order to practice my sketching skills. I felt more and more comfortable and skillful after the practice and drew confidently in the perspective drawings ILA. However, I found orthographic drawing somehow challenge to me with getting the right shape in the right angle.

I found this ILA the most interesting because this drawing challenge do not require eyes. Without looking at the paper, it is hard to distinguish each line and the turning point so I ca only generally draw the outline of my hand. I like the outcome which is quit abstract but very creative and twisted.

This ILA is pretty challenge for me but also fun. This exercise require a great sketching skills and need to be really detailed with lines and point. But it was also fun to draw so many different shapes and forms.

I used thine wire as the material of the basket because I couldn’t get the rotten in the market. Wire is relatively not easy to bent and my wire is too thin so it is really hard to form and cross at first. So I build a smaller one instead to save some time. During the process, I like seeing how those lines become more and more intensive and they crossed each other. After finished the basket, I experiment it with light and shadow by using a flashlight to shine on the basket in order to project the shadow on to white wall. In order to make the line visually look more clearly, I turned the photo in to black and white. I like the contrast of the color distinct separating from the line of the basket and the line in the shadow from the picture.

This exercise is really fun for my because it does not require ruler in the whole process. It is my first time to draw shape without ruler. I firstly find a mid point and cross it with 4 lines  to touch the point on the rectangle. Then drew each one beside each other. The cubes one used the two point perspective way to create them in the same size.

In order to use plastic as the material of the rectilinear for this week. I found PP plastic which is a plastic used I a folder. Then I cut them in to separate pieces to fold in to boxes. I have used two color in order to better discriminate each one.

This exercise was all about sketching and drawing. It is my first time to draw so many cuboids with pencils and ruler. And this drawing method requires many lines and point which makes me a little bit confused at first by all the line crossing each other. I drew 12 cuboids in two point perspective, 12 cuboids in three point perspectives and 3 cuboids on a ground line

.

then I choose a cuboids from the cardboard cuboids I have made and did a Rotated plan method of one of my rectilinear volumes.
