End oF unit

I finished the assignment and it was due today. ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well at least I haven't been given any new ones only b-day.
Overall I found this unit fun. I think if I did it again my project could have been better, especially If I didn't drop it like I did in the third lesson.
It was enjoyable and interesting.
I liked being the only person with a moving part in my project.
So far everyone I have talked to loves my project and Celine offered me $50 for it because she wanted it so bad.

It was a fun activity to do.

The importance of being exact

Yesterday Wardy went over the importance of being exact after one of the girls was asked to make a circle and she drew it freehand. Lets just say that wardy wasnt happy when he saw this and gave us a lecture about it. " there is only a 1mm tolerence of miscalculation" or something along those lines. some of my project looks a bit crappy even though i measured everything accurately. Oh well. If it doesnt turn out well it isnt a failure because I tried my best and I did happen to pick a rediculousy cazy hard design to make. The fact that i have got this far is good. so if it doesnt work out i cant talk about why it didnt work in my assesment piece, and i could still get an A because of the complexity oif what i have been making and skills required to create it. anywayz, the bell is going to go soon and the lesson is almost over. Until next time...

my desk tidy update








These images are of my deask tidy as pieces are created and put into place before I glue them down. So far i have made the majority of my project, with the pages left to make. I still have to work out how i am going to make an even shape. I know i have to put the plastic in the oven but i need to find something to bend it on. guess i better think of something over the weekend.

It has been realoly good lately. Even though i missed a week and half of classes due to illness, i am where i wanted to be at this point. There were a few set backs last lesson due to the fact i dropped part of my project and a thin piece of plastic broke off. But to get around this i cut the other off so it was a smooth edge. this way i could remake those parts using scrap material from the beginning of the project when i glued three sheets of white acrylic together.
