Boat Project!

The final project of the semester! My group consisted of me, Riane, Matt, and Mark. Riane came up with the design and measurements of the boat, Matt designed the paddles, and I came up with the missile theme and the color scheme.

Project IV: Toy, Game or Invention

For this project, my personal favorite, we had to make a toy, game, or invention. I made a line of stuffed animals (called "Nature's Little Weirdos") based on very weird/ugly real-life animals.

Hagfish

Yeti Crab

Project V: Form Follows Function

We had to make a styrofoam sculpture based on a few of the items we picked. I based mine on the chair designs. The final styrofoam shape was good, but rough, so I coated it with plaster and paint to smooth it out.

Project V: Research

We had to find 25 images for five types of functional objects. However, I don't think I can fit 125 images into one post alone, so I'll just share my top three from each category.

Chairs

Tables

Clocks

Lamps

Sinks
