Slice Forms
During this project there were many things that I learned, many of them were concepts in geometry. One of the biggest things that I learned was how a three dimensional object can be made in to a two dimensional objects on a piece of paper and make that into a larger three dimensional object. This can be used for design of other three dimensional objects. This was the largest part of this project, learning how to and then creating a three dimensional object with just flat sheets of paper cut into a grid formation.
While doing this project I really liked the freedom to create whatever we wanted. We weren't limited to something that we didn't necessarily want to create. Having the freedom to create whatever we wanted made this project something unique to us and it made it so no two projects were the same. Different students had different issues with their projects which was the only difficult thing to deal with. It was often difficult to get help because often others students were getting help.
One of the most difficult things with this project was visualizing the final three dimensional object as I drew out the individual sections of the ship. It was also difficult to make it look like a space ship of some kind, it ended up not looking at all like I wanted or expected, but it still looks good to me. It changed my perspective on how some objects are made in the real world. Although I didn't use much math while I was drawing it out it was still difficult, but I was able to overcome this difficulty.
One thing I learned about myself is that I am able to easily visualize how something will look. I can visualize a three dimensional object in my head and take it apart so that I can see what it is made out of. For this project that helped me draw out the sections easily.
