Nature and Tools as Teachers: project 2

Assignment: In this project you will investigate and record a natural object, fruit or produce. You will extract patterns and relationships from your investigations to create 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional and architectural statements of your revelations. All your submissions should respect a 6x6" format. Your final presentation should be a time line of at least 15 drawings and 4 models.

This project began by picking a fruit or produce. I chose an orange bell pepper. The first step was to draw the top, front and side of the pepper. Then we were to cut our produce and draw several section cuts and then several zoomed in drawings of the produce. After this we were to use a tool to manipulate our patterns. I chose needle-nose pliers. Then we wrote a haiku about our produce. After this we built several iterations of models based off of our patterns, which we then turned into an architectural statement with a scale figure. After all of this was completed, we were to get in groups of 4 to coordinate our presentation boards with and ultimately present with. My group was called The Bell Peppers and consisted of Lauren, Brianna and Ashleigh.
