WEEK TWO
Week Two: Of the second week, our teacher put a cardboard-made stool on the desk, and the task was to create this as a 3D object. To do this, we used the program, Solidworks to create a stool. A 5-minute model that could be complete in one class, but it was hard for others because it was their first time using Tinkercad.
PART 2:

The object that I searched on Thingiverse was a simple ring. Downloading and bringing this ring into Tinkercad, I was able to play around with the tools and create whatever I wanted. As I wasn't entirely sure of what I was doing I created an odd object. The image shown above shows my first experience of using Thinkercad.
After playing around, the next day, the task was to create a key chain with a hole for the chain to go through. No dimensions required or anything, we could create whatever we wanted and desired.
This day, our class spent the majority of the period working on their mini-assignment of creating a key-chain.
The above picture shows the keychain I had created. This work.. I was discontent with it. I didn't like the colors, the tools I used and the overall look of this object. So, to fix it, I went home, logged into my account, and began to design my product from scratch all over again.
Still being discontent with my model, I went into school the next day wanting to redo this assignment all over again. The reasoning for my discontent was because although the viewer can interpret this model as a minion, it wasn't accurate. Features such as the chicken legs, thin arms, bunny ears, wide mouth and black pouch made my model not entirely similar to a minion that could be seen on the internet. Though, small features such as the embedded text on the feet (Yoongi), the black band and eyes, and the appearance of colors used enables for the viewer to view this model as a minion.
As class started, we put the model on our screen and walked around. Given 5-minutes, the class walked around looking at everyone's models, silently judging it from afar. After the 5-minutes, we sat down and had a talk about who's key-chain stood out the most and why. This conversation ending up with the class picking three top key-chains that we (as a class) all liked.
The winners for the key-chain assignment were two boys, one who created a car and the other who created a piano. The other winner, well, that's me!
