For my Maquette, I created a scaled-down, nonreactive version of my project. It comprises fairy lights wrapped around a wire frame, supporting a polyfill outer layer. This model was primarily to test the lighting effect through the polyfill and its effectiveness in simulating a cloud. An additional diffusing material might be necessary for the final…
Kat Tse Maquette
For my maquette, I chose to do a slice. I am currently testing to see if the optic fibers will work to create a the skirt part of my dress. I am attempting to us an EL wire to light the optic fibers so that I can wrap that around the waist of the dress….
Maquette and Shopping List
Maquette In order to prototype the mechanical flowers, I bought some wire to use for the structure, and attempted to build the mechanical portion of the design. I used straws to act as the hinges as I could not find hollow metal rods of the correct size. Through this process I learned 2 distinct things:…
Maquette – Abigail Mansour
So I planned to do maquettes for both of my proposals, but I honestly had so much fun with the light painting that I spent most of my time on that and am keeping the LED grid as a backup. Light Painting Maquette The Good I liked how Lily interacted with the light in these….
Maquette & Shopping List – Lite Brite… or maybe not.
This week I might have hit my “failure” a little early! or really, after gathering my thoughts and putting together a materials list and a plan for how I would actually create my idea, it wasn’t coming together how I imagined. Anyways, I’ll still show what I did. So here is my mini model. It…
Abigail Mansour Project Proposals
Overview To give some context, this proposal includes two possible projects that I am deciding between: light painting, and an LED grid. Also, because I tend to like to bite off more than I can chew, I have derived “goal steps” as I like to call them, where I lay out things I want to…
Maquette and Shopping List
For my maquette I did a simple photography experiment, I used these objects I own as subjects and merged the images in different ways to experiment with that color combination. I also tried out some light painting For the colors I used my phone, searched images of the color Blue or Color Green and full…
Cullen Jacene: Maquette
To test out the idea, I made a prototype of North and South America. To do this, I sketched out the location of the mirrors in SolidWorks and then used this drawing to laser engrave wood so that I would be able to perfectly line up the mirrors where they needed to go. However, the…
Maquette and Shopping List – Jesse Frey
For my maquette, I made a small scale (4″x4″) painting and played with how different lights on it. There was one picture taken with blue LEDs and one taken with red LEDs. Some aspects of the painting appeared/disappeared based on what color LED I was using. This color playfulness is quite to me, and I…
Concept Proposal – Andrew Roush
Inspiration I was inspired by a video I saw about a “3D” display based on the concept of spinning LEDs. These spinning LEDs let the display be transparent didn’t actually make the display 3d… This of course really bugged me, so I want to make one that allows for proper 3d display. Background After some…
Concept Proposal: Kolya Cochran
Concept Variant 1 – Obelisk The first concept is a mechanically simpler design. It is a variation on an obelisk, or tekhenu, an Egyptian sculpture/monument that features four sides and a tapered capstone or pyramidon. They are traditionally associated with the Sun god Ra and are seen as frozen rays of light. My variation takes…
Concept Proposal – Nature’s Glow
Concept For my project, I hope to create a floral composition with lights incorporated. Flowers and trees, especially ones made up of unnatural materials, have always interested me greatly and held a ethereal feeling of beauty. I want to encapsulate that feeling through this art piece. Inspiration Main Concept – Glowing Garden I want to…
