Castle Assignment     WELCOME BACK!!! It's been a hot minute but excited to be back and to create some awesome things.  I really didn't have anything that inspired me to build my castle. It was more as I worked I came up with new ideas to add to the project. An example was the fountain. Without it the castle looks very bare and empty. I struggled with getting ideas for the castle. I saw so many really good reference pictures but didn't use any of them because I couldn't figure out how to recreate them. So I went for a more simply approach but I really enjoyed working on this. It was very fun and the trees glow in the dark. I wish I would have been able to create a better window with a glass pane but the frame was pretty good. 

3D Object  In this project I was tasked with making an object in Rhino and to prepare it for 3D printing. The twist? Working with a teammate. Luckily my partner and I were able to work very efficiently on our project.  The way we combined our projects together was as we were talking we where really wanted to do macaroni and I ended up making a snake while we were messing around. Erin mad noodle shapes and I had made vases shapes. When combined noodle snake. So that was the start of our project. We both made objects like pots or a cup and we decided to take that and run with it. 

Paper Craft Hello Kitty    This is the entire post of my paper craft project. In my planning I was very confident in my model in Rhino. However when I printed it out my printer was being funny. As show in the picture below. It was printing landscape on portrait mode. I had no idea why it was doing this. No matter what I tried same results. With this slight error my design was approximately x2 smaller than it should have been.  Here is the rendered version in Rhino                                          Original model and deconstructed   First prototype  Second model and deconstruction   Changes to the first deconstructed model are adding more taps. I forgot to add tabs to certain areas so it doesn't actually fold together properly. Another issue I ran into was simplification of the body parts. In the original I didn’t simplify these areas enough which proved to be a challenge for me. The arms are great and the legs are too small weirdly enough. It made sense when I was deconstruc

 Week 5/6 -Updated Version of Paper Craft Model     This week came to me as a shock. I didn't realize how difficult this project would prove to be. I was able to do all the in class examples with no problems, however when it comes to creating an actual project I found I was struggling. I was on call with my friend, waiting for our friends to join so we could play games. I was getting very upset because I was struggling to use what I was learning and applying it to my project. Unlike the other times where I was able to complete it in no time at all and was able to still push myself and my brain to a certain degree.  Reference:  FunKo Pop! Sanrio: Hello Kitty - Classic Hello Kitty, Multicolor, Figures - Amazon Canada Feb 27- Due to not feeling well I was able to complete the mesh the surface flat design. I had everything all printed out but I don't trust myself with sharp objects because my energy has been zapped from my body. Pictures will be coming soon. I'm currently not a

From Skyworld to Cyberspace     From Skyworld to Cyberspace is currently an  exhibition open to the public at Alberta University of the Arts located at the address below. Auarts has a link that I have provided below with the information of the event and more about artist Skawennati. Her exhibition is a combination of her work from the last couple years exploring the idea of how the world was formed. Her work is a combination of the retelling of Indigenous stories by using technology to create a modern version of it.       My experience at the From Skyworld to Cyber was very good. I wasn't too sure of what was going on because I didn't have too much information on her work. I was enjoyed myself and because of their not being too many people I was able to focus on the artist work and not be so anxious about it. These are a couple pieces that caught my eye because of the vibrance of the colours.             On the Auarts website photos of ever piece are available for the viewer to
