Cube and Straw Stand

(final revision)

This assignment has two main parts to it. The first part was to construct a 4"x4"x4" cube with one open end, using white Bristol board, articulating the edges to aid assembly and design intent. The second part was to design an integral structure made from plastic drinking straws that positions the cube four inches above an eight inch square base.

The first structure that I made was triangular shaped and had the straws in a grid formation so that it would relate to the square tabs on my cube. After speaking with Tommy, I then revised my structure to better relate to the cube as a whole.

Foust Building

For this assignment we were instructed to go outside and draw the Foust Building.

Intersection project

The goal of this project was to design a container for a special object using paper, fabric, and thread of your choice. My special object was a ring that my dad gave me. Using pink and silver ribbon, black construction paper, and black thread my final project enabled the ring to be suspended in a black cube.

Nature Project

This was my first design project. The assignment was to take two natural objects and connect them with a linear object. My two natural objects were a pinecone and a piece of an eucalyptus plant and my linear object was a long piece of grass.
