Project 4- Unity

For this project, we were supposed to "assemble anything [we] want[ed] with 12 rods (skeweres) and 12 planes (4"x6" Bristol Board) on a 12"x12" base. Along with that we had to have a parti or collage on a 12"x12" format.

I definitely had some trouble trying to figure out what to make. So I started to play around with my skewers and used index cards for my planes. As a started to play around with forms and shapes, I came down to two models. One was a picnic table looking shape, except the problem with that was I didn't use up all the materials. That left me with trying to figure out how to incorporate the rest without changing the idea. The other model was of an airplane. It was the type that were constructed back in early 1900s. My inspiration was the Wright Brother's model planes. However, the model I had set my eyes on as my inspiration was not going to work with my materials since I could only manipulate the form/shape of my skewers and paper but I couldn't cut them. So I continued my research and stumbled upon a few other planes. I narrowed it down to a plane made by Jerome S. Zebre.

From my Zebre inspiration, I used my materials to mimic the multiple tiered wings of the plane.
