Modular Madness

Final...

I was very happy with my final product but not so much with my grade. it took me a lot of time and hard work to make my spiral tower with leaf accents. yea it had a few clumps of glue, but i would like to see someone make it look flawless... IMPOSSIBLE!!! but yea I assume it couldve been better, i give myself about an 82 versus the 77 I recieved...

Process

At the beginning of this project i was originally going to use plastic cups but i couldnt find anyway to use them effectively. next i was going to try for paper plates, but they were plain and white and i found them boring. After seeing me struggling Bill told me about the tub of clothes pins they had laying around, i thought they were perfect. i began making a few leaf like structures and decided to stack them and make a central struture that would spiral through. I ran into a few problems with the clothes pins staying together. the size and weight of the structure kept pulling it apart. i was able to keep it together by treading the string that i used to hang it all through the central structure but i still had problems keeping some of the clothes pins shut... photos coming soon...
