So, today was the day to hand in our Statement

of Intent for the FMP. Everyone gave their SOI

to Matt to read over before sending it off to Graham.

It was also the last day to complete and asses

the Pathway project.

Matt chekced mine over and said I passed, and

that my project was merit level.

I'm glad to get the pathway project and the SOI

out of the way. A lot of stress off my head. Now

I can conectrate on my semiar presentation for

Tuesday.

Well, in the lesson I worked on my FMP

proposal, which needs to be in by Thursday,

and added a few more annotations to my

sketch book. All work is for Thursday.

Had my assessment. Well all is good. I just
need to finish off my annotations and make a
few more models and it will be fine.

I add more work to my model.

It's assessment week, I've got mine on
Thursday, so I was just finishing of my
work in this lesson.
Add a little more to my sketch book and
also worked on my 3D model.
I had to add filler into the gaps and slits
of the model. This took some time to
dry. Once dried I painted the first coat
of enamel paint.

Hopefully I'll be able to complete my work
by Thursday.

So woke up early today and went into college on my
day off, also my first day for the half-term holiday,
to continue to work on my model.

I continued to cut the remaining piece for the model,
sanded down the edges, and also checked if the lengths
were correct.




I had a talk with Matt. My first idea was to cut out
frames from the MDF where the windows will go, but
I decided this would take to long. Matt suggested that,
as I'm good a CAD, I should create the windows on the
computer, then print them out and stick them on to the
model. Acetate could be used to make it shine. Plus, as
this is not my final piece its not important for it to look
exactly like the design.

I then stated to glue the piece down.

Now, the model is stuck down.
I will leave it to dry and then we we return from half-term I
will paint it and add all the finiahing touches like the windows
and the archs.

I went in late to class.....I wasn't feeling myself in
the morning and I was also angry due to certain
people in my life.

Anyways, when I got to class I printed out my design
for the arena.

I then went into the workshop to make my model, which
I am making out of MDF.

Matt said it would be best if I cut some grooves into the
base material and then slot the other pieces in place.
So, Matt cut these grooves into the base piece for me.

The places were the grooves are not needed will be filled
with a filler.

I then continued with cutting the pieces for the building.

I cut most of them out and only had a few left in the end.


We then had a group critique at the end. I went first.
It was funny, because after I explained what I had done
and what I was going to do, Matt asked the class if they
would recommened anything else, but nobody resoponed.
lol. Jo then said to me that my work is perfect and
there's nothing else she could say for me to do, and Liam
also said it was really good.


In between the group critique the fire alarm went off,
actually it sound more like a siren, lol. It was actually kind
of annoying. So, we were stuck in the cold for a while. It
seemed like there was a fire on the 3rd floor, the Science
department. Jo had left her portfolio and sketchbook in
the class, and Ravika and Zulfikar had also left their
sketchbooks there . We tired to figure out how to get
them out. lol But, then after a while we went back into the
college.

In the lesson I decided I should develop my
CAD work so I started to develop my design
ideas is SketchUp.

The design I was working on, at first looked
a little boring. Although the design idea had
come from the light painting photography I
had done ealier, it didn't look as if the idea
had developed from the photography.

After a talk with Kate I decided I should not
be realistic with the design, as that way I can
develop a much more interesting and
asthetically pleasing design for the building
(arena). Then this can be edited afterwards
tp be a little more realistic. I must also consider
how the enviroment & sustainability will effect
my design.

The design for now....
