Reversed Engineered Objects: White Out progress sketches

Image
After deciding what object i'd want to proceed with, i began to attempt to take the pieces apart. It took me quite a while to figure out how to carefully take apart the pieces but after sometime i managed to separate all 6 detachable parts! I began sketching the various parts and take measurements from all sides and areas. This was a bit difficult for me as my objects shape on the top and bottom are different. so im worried my measurements my be wrong.  I still have some sketches I need to do, but I am unsure how to approach the gear that is inside of the white out.  To be completely honest I am very nervous to start creating this on rhino. I feel like this may be harder than I expected to achieve but fingers crossed! 

Object Selection

  OBJECT ONE: Stapler Object 1:  I picked a stapler as one of the possible objects I can use for this upcoming project as it has a complex design that I think I wouldn't be too hard for me to do. I has a spring and interlocking metal pieces that I think would be a fun challenge for me. OBJECT TWO: Toy Car Toy Car: I picked the toy car as it is small, but also has a lot to the design of it. the wheels and axis and the base I feel is simple enough for me to do, but complex enough in the way that it can come apart. OBJECT THREE: White Out White Out: while I was looking for other objects I could consider using for this project I found this white out. I was attracted to the design of the white out as it has two gears and other small parts that I think would be successful using in this project coming up.

Surface Design Study

  (Final Work) (with lines) Alex Janvier (Artist inspo) (taken by me, in Ottawa inside the MoMa museum) I have always admired Janvier's work, especially since I have seen it in person. I adore the colours and patterns within each of his works, and I wanted to create my own mosaic design but still be full of colours.  Getting Started: The planning and starting of this project was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do. To get my mind flowing with ideas, I just opened Rhino 7 and just created shapes until something stuck with me. Learning the hatching technique was very difficult for me to grasp my head around it, as well as the layers and their individual functions. However, I met with Bryan and he helped me out tremendously and in return I finally felt confident to work on it once again. to conclude this project and the research, I am confident to say that I am proud of my work. It was a hard hard project, but In the end, the hard work was worth it. Coming from so...
