3D Spatial Rotation

Its been a while since my last blog, and this is due to 3D Spatial rotation has kept us on the go everyday.  I am enjoying this rotation a bit better than the others (which is to be expected seeing as how I want to go into Interior Design).
Last week we brought in materials to make a 3D map of where we all (in our group) came from. We were asked to make a 3D model that would represent us on the map. I made a 3D horse because I came from a Ranch in California. We had to figure out how we were going to represent the distance from our place of organ to the University where we all met at. As a group, we decided that we would go off of drive/flight time. And the way in which we would represent that would be with our colored string and by using our hands as equalling One hour. Here is what we made:

 This was my 3D horse I made to represent me.

And this was our finished 3D map! I was really pleased with how it turned out. One thing I really enjoyed about it, was when you where there just looking at it, you could not see how our line showing the distance, actually made the continentes. Now we did not do that on purpose, but it was a happy find!
We did a whole lot of drawings of this and that to be honest felt repetitive and so I got bored with it pretty fast. But, we then moved on to different timed/instructed drawings and that was a lot of fun. I felt like I was actually learning something about how to draw when we were instructed to do the measurement drawing. I think I enjoyed that the most!

This week we have made more 3D images but, we are applying them to real life. I feel like we should of been doing this with all the rotations. I really enjoy getting to work with the different materials to create my structure that I can actually see one day happening and being built as a fun little project. I am looking forward to the area talk tomorrow for 3D Spatial, to finally see what I have to look forward to for the rest of the school year.
