Space & Materiality: Week 4

22nd Aug, 2019: Sonia Ma’am

With the help of MDF, we made two coasters by using the different tools from the workshop.

One of my coasters is in the shape of a maple leaf which has its veins carved out. And the second coaster is in the shape of a ‘dialogue box’, which has a 3-D shape to it. The dialogue box has carvings in it which may represent thoughts. I chose to make a dialogue box in order to represent the conversations that people have over coffee or tea.

In this lecture we also studied the different hand gestures. We had to list down the different kinds of gestures that we see every day, either while picking up an object or while pushing or pulling something.

We had to make sketches of 5 different objects and one grip for each object in 6 different views. Two of the objects that I chose to sketch included a ‘book’ and a ‘phone case’.
