Balsa Wood Project

In Process Work:

My goal was to create something that was geometric and innovative. My sketches were filled with shapes like triangles and pyramids . 

Triangle-Balsa-Structure

Materials:

Sculpture 2: Balsa Wood, Pins, Tape

Dimensions: 4 X 8 X 6 

For my balsa wood project I wanted to stick with the triangle them. I used sand paper to curve the edges of some of my triangles. I used pins to connect them. I also cute out little rectangles to allow for them to be woven into each other. My goal was to have something that looked innovative and geometric. 

GeoTrianglePyramid

Materials:

Sculpture 1: Paper, Black Tape

 Dimensions: 6 X 6 X 6

For my paper structure I wanted to create something that was all the same size and could connect easily. I use a ruler to create a triangle with all the same sized sides. This allowed for everything the meet perfectly at a point. I then used my Xacto knife and cut out different patterned shapes on each triangle. I then used black tape to connect all the sides together. With my left over paper I created a foldable stand for my triangular pyramid to sit within.
