Art Alive -week 1-

Mohammed Ramadan

Art  Alive depends on creativity and  investment a narrow space/corner and make it a service space and all of that by creating multi-functional tools (Table, Painting,  Chair...) 

We  started the course with an  exercise, 3 triangles  that you can move only 180 degrees and you have  to make the 3  triangles like the shape that  they showed you. I had some  trouble in  this exercise and understanding  it and what to do in it,  but no one  did it right, and when they showed  us the way we knew that  we can move  any triangle that you make it was  simple but complicated at  the same  time. and that was just to solve a  problem, and it was that  simple.

After we saw some models about transforming furniture that other people made we had to come up with new ideas or ideas that existed  but  put our touch on it and improve it our way, and  the idea have to solve a problem in society or our daily life.

We made some sketches to represent the ideas and explain them and how they work and what makes it special, after that we showed it to the coaches and other students to give their opinions on it.

One of the ideas is a wooden slap divided to 6 pieces connected to each other, and you can move  it to make a shape like a  honeycomb and use it as a table, or make it a bed.

Another idea is a bag that got 3 sections and you can open them to make it bigger or use it like a table when you are not home.

We got divided to teams of 2 according to similar ideas, then each team chose an idea to work on. My teammate and I chose the wooden slap idea.

We started by getting the right measurements then cutting it on cardboard and connecting the pieces then shaping it like a honey comp.
