In the morning I picked up the prisim I booked

for today's lesson, from the Physics department.

They also gave me a light box to carry out my

experiment.

I set up everything in the photography studio as

it's pretty dark in there.

I started with experiementing with the effects of

coloured glass/acrylic and refracting light. 

Refracting the light using a mirror.  

Then I experimented with refracting white light

using a prism.

Using mirrors to re-refract.

Using mirrors to re-refract.

After that I experimented with dispersing light into

it's spectral colours.
Refracting the dispered light using a mirror.

I had talk with Kate later on. She and I realised I

need to start doing more work. I've been held

back a little because of personal problems, but

I'm going to catch up this week, and in the Easter

holidays which start next week.

I developed my final idea further in CAD programme

SketchUp.
The design needs further rendering.

In the lesson I did some sketch book work so

that it is up-to-date. I also worked on my

final design. I need to develop this design

further and also develop it further in CAD

using SketchUp and maybe SolidWorks.

I tried to get a prism from the Physics

department so that I can experiment with the

light disperstion. It seems like I had to book

it in advance, so Matt tried to book it for me,

now I've got it for Monday.

Matt and me discussed for a while if there

could be another possible way I can use the

prism light disperstion.

I now need to start get everything going as

theres only 5-6 weeks left of this project.

So went in a little late today.

Apart from doing some extra research, I didn't

do much work for the lesson as I was preparing

for my seminar presentation tomorrow. Well,

I've finished it and I hope it goes well.

I talked to Jamie about making some smoked

glass, but he said that they don't have the sand

blaster anymore, so I'd have to try another way,

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.
