In the beginning I had to create an algorithm to manipulate the points that were placed on a 9 x 9 grid that I drew out of dice rolls. Based on the points that were placed on the grid, we each were told to choose a verb out of the Rhino software to do on our 9 x 9 grid paper. My design was based on the action of twist. I pinched the middle of the paper and twisted it clockwise. Through the ideal points, real points, and crevasses that were made in the paper, we drew a pattern that could be interpreted onto a piece of 24 x 36 inch vellum. The two vellum drawing I presented in the critique were based on the connection on all three points. The first was one that drawn all out of triangles. The second was a drawing which alluded to the spiral shape shown by the “twist” action. We then created three dimensional models that represented our drawings.

               I feel as though I didn’t place too much thought or critical thinking in the project, rather just simply “did it.” But my model reflected the intensity, effort, and time I placed into my project. In the future I will definitely think about the project more to create more radical and original ideas. I explained my first spiral model as “a model which at first looks like a group of chaotic hatching while it subtly alludes to its original spiral patterns. The bottom is has the inverse hatchings from the top, like a black hole. The lift from the ground allows the hatching to create intricate shadows.” The second model which was composed of triangles was explained as “a model with volume with the use of suspended shapes. The openness of the lower portion half creates space for crisp shadows.”

               I didn’t receive the same amount of critique as many other people. I was told that the shadows on the picture that I presented should have been more focused and that the rhino could have been a better interpretation between an ideal model and the actual model. But my presentation didn’t last more than five minutes.
