The Final Part

We are now coming to the end of the breaking point project, so we have started planning what we are going to make as a final piece of work.

Planning
Planning is very important when we are making work it makes sure we get all our ideas down and then have something to work to when we are making the work.
The brief for this end project was to find a way of recording or measuring the environment on the hednesford hills, which are next to the school. The idea was to make objects which were half machine half sculpture.



Things that we had to consider were

• the size of the object
• how it could move about
• how strong it would need to be
• how would a camera or a microphone would be attached to do the recording

We all had lots of ideas, and we made drawings and filled in a form which we could refer to later to make sure that we could remember what it was we were making and how it would look.
After this we made things called maquettes. Maquettes are small models of the finished piece which help us when we are making a larger object. We were able to workout what materials were needed for the finished pieces and what they would look like in 3D.

Here are some examples of the maquettes we made:
