Design111 - Project 2


The brief for this project was to draw a diagram to represent the movement of a joint, then to make a moving model based on this diagram and to represent this model in a working drawing. My joint for this project was the finger, and through diagrams I represented the movement of a finger beckoning from a front and side view, and also the movement of each of the fingers rotating and the relative difficulties of this movement. My model is based on the diagram of the side view of a finger beckoning, and was made out of a piece of recycled rimu, wire and nylon. My diagrams were quite delicate in their use of line and I represented this in my model through the use of wire to emphasise its movement. I then drew a series of drawings showing the movement of my model and also a side and top view of my model showing eleven steps of its movement. This project was successful as there is a clear link between my diagrams, my model and my working drawing and they show good composition and craft.

Really nice model, the craft is superb and the materials you used look really good together. The use of construction lines in your drawing adds character to the composition.

Really good craft in your model! The drawing is also very efective, showing the idea of the movement of the finger.
