Topic Two: Pattern and Ornaments - In-class exercises (Directed Drawings: three & 2D-3D translation); Replicating my classmate's 3D Model In-class exercises #1 The in-class exercise was complex and I try to understand the angles and measurements of the lines. In-class exercises #2 In-class exercise #2 it resembles a smiley face with one eye winking but, I know the size of the hexagon is rather large when it should be quite smaller.  In-class exercises #3 I really took delight in-class exercise #3 because I was able to create a design where we try to study your movements without any verbal directions.  The 2D-to-3D translation I decided to create a 3D model for in-class exercise #1. I was quite astonished by the outcome. The making of this design shown above was complex. I carefully observe each part and detail of the design to replicate it with vivid materials. I used a variety of materials that is sheeny and reflective. The process wa...
