Material Modeling - first two exercises




- Speed material modeling: the initial and (to me) the most difficult task, mainly because of the time limit applied.  However, since time has been a major issue in modelmaking this semester, the knowledge this activity has given (that I am capable of making a cube in 20 minutes) will definitely influence my approach to modelmaking and speed.

- This activity (group work with David and Sean) reinforced the point made earlier.
Key lesson: material modeling involves mind over matter. (just DO it)

- Third exercise: 1:50 sectional model of my house provided an opportunity to apply the 'lesson' learnt.  


- The construction of the stairs provided a perfect example of 'mind over matter', though initially daunting, making the stairs was quite enjoyable.
