Sketches

Here are my sketches for my bowl project as well as my secondary artefact and my ideas for future models.

The Bowl:

Seconday Artefact:

For my Da vinci style design on the lightsaber, rather then writing in backwards italian, I decided to wriute in the fictional Star wars language know as Basic.

Here is the Galactic Basic Alphabet:

Here are the translations:

  • “Kyber crystal” (Top centre)
  • “When chosen by a jedi, it turns blue or green, when chosen by a sith it turns red” (Below)

Future Model Designs:

Note: For some of these Da Vinci style drawings, (except for the light saber) I wanted to write it in the unique way Da vinci wrote notes on his sketches by writting them in italian backwards, So for the Flux capacitor, I googled the drawing from the movie and copyied the writting and equasion, translated them to italian on Google translate and did my best to write backwards, similarly to how he wrote it.

The drawing used in the movie (Back to the future 1985)

Here are some of the quotes I translated to Italian:

  • “The Flux Capacitor” (Top right corner)
  • “It’s what makes time travel possible” (Top-bottom right corner)
  • “Caution: Sheild eyes from light” (bottom right corner)

Pinhole Camera:

One of my non movie prop Ideas is to create a Da Vinci style pinhole camera and experiement various types of way that it will operate, such creating a big slider for the pin hole, using reusabel matches or possibly creating a remote control prototype.

When I begin my research, I will intend to read a book on Leonardo Da Vinci’s inventions to get more ideas on what I could make.

My Smart Light Idea

For my smart light my idea is for it to have multi purpose

Including:

Adjustable brightness

Automatic burglar lights

Multi colour flash notifications

(Eg green for text, blue for Facebook, red for email)

Inspiration for this idea comes from The smart light I found on Kick starter

The light has been tested for various conditions and was given positive feedback

Features include:

• Flash Light

• 3 Flash Light Modes (Flash, SOS, Quick Flash)

• Colour Changing Atmosphere Lamp

• Motion Sensor Enabled Night Light

• Bedside Lamp

• Magnetic Back Handsfree

• Emergency Light

• Waterproof Design

• Rechargeable Battery 

 

Superhero Mask

On the 15th of November, I started work on my superhero mask
Here are the things I used:

Smooth white mask
Liquid Latex
Black acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Baby powder
Spirit Gum
And crafting knives

First thing I did was mix the liquid latex with the black paint until it was the right color

Next, I used a paintbrush and painted the mix on the white mask, to get it at the right thickness I had to build it up in layers, so between each layer, I had to wait for it to dry

Once I got up to 10 layers I carefully started to peel the mask off, then I applied baby powder to the front and inside of the mask to prevent it sticking together (If you peel it off too fast or don’t apply enough powder the latex mask will tear)

After I peeled off the mask I used my craft knife to cut it into the shape I wanted

Next, I then proceeded to stick the mask to my face, first I applied some spirit gum to the mask, then I stuck it onto my face (I had to stretch it to some areas so it would look like it’s attached to my face also so it can move with my face emotions)
