Form to formation (f2f) was an amazing project for me . as the name it self explain the meaning that's formation of form. with the help of this project i learned so much tips and tricks , learned new shapes and forms . most interesting part was worked with POP

I learnt few interesting techniques like extrusion , subtraction and addition with the help of my these learnings now i am able to relate shapes around me. I will surely take forward my these learnings in my future projects.


ILLUSTRATED GLOSSARY

  • SHAPE : form of an object or its outline ; eg Rectangle,

  • FORM : A3 dimensional object

  • EXTRUSION : pulling or extruding something into a 3 dimensional form

  • PLATONIC SOLIDS/SHAPE : any of the five geometric solids whose faces are all identical, regular polygons meeting at the same three-dimensional angles.

  • ABSTRACT : something that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect or theme

  • CARVING: to cut out something from solid to form out something new

  • ARCHIMEDEAN SHAPES - a complex version of platonic solids


FORMS IN OUR SURRONDINGS


When i started observing the objects around me and notice almost all the objects had addition , subtraction and extrusion


1 ADDITION


2. SUBTRACTION


3. EXTRUSION


Characteristics and Properties of Plaster of Paris

  • It is light in weight powdered like thing which is used to make hard objects generally used in building

  • Plaster of Paris is easy to spread and level.

  • It gives a decorative interior finish.

  • It mixes up easily with water.

  • When it react with water a lots of heat comes out that is because of exothermic reactions

Advantages

  • Its easy to make shapes

  • It mix easily with water and easy to spread

Disadvantages

  • We have to add water in a fix amount otherwise it is not fixed properly

My work with POP

Nikita, I am happy to see that most of your Learner's Log posts are done.

However, you have compromised the quality - they seem to be done to tick box on a to-do list, especially the ones from cycle-2. I hope you will find time to look into these and make improvements.


You posts do not go beyond reporting "what you did?" and talking about things that are obvious. The idea of a Learer's Log is to dive a bit deeper into our experience and extract some realisations that can deepen our understanding of the topic. Whenever you are making a point, try to establish a cause and effect relationship - what must have caused this? What will happen as…
