Our students have been researching furniture...
'to help them with their design ideas next week..
they have been encouraged to look at tutorials on making furniture..
to gain an insight into how it could/might be made
some have used google images and found inspiration this way..
you tube, google images and instructables was popular..
the challenge was to try and understand how furniture is made
as well as to be inspired by designs and ideas
some students wanted to make mock up/prototypes after they were inspired
old tyres and ripped shade sails
some realised that marking out was important too
others just tried out ideas
some recorded notes on how to make furniture
then we got on with design ideas... using our 3D drawing skills...
cylinders.. represented tyres..
we had to communicate our thinking and
try and put as much information on as possible
some also added notes to their designs
some were personalised
we had to consider the needs of stakeholders
we kept on making mock ups
some worked
some were safer and had more potential then others
we had questions that we tried to answer... can you cut a tyre in half?... so we can use half tyres in our designs......we tried with a hacksaw but it was hard work
can we use fabric..? what about the rain..? what about other students..?
