Final day of 3D Design and I've enjoyed it all tasks given, even though they were hard; but who doesn't enjoy a challenge?
The first thing we did was to draw between 10-15 ways to connect 3 balls. It could be a 3D drawing or a simple line drawing. But seeing as it was a quick, warm up task to get our brains functioning and prepared for the days activities.

Spaghetti and glue were our only two allowed martials. The quick sketches were simple ideas that could be a starting point for the structure we were to make for the day. There had to be 3 or more balls held up and they couldn't touch each other or the ground.
Seeing that the spaghetti had such little flexibility and the glue gun made it heat up and fall limp, I had to think of more sufficient ways of construction. However I did want to play with the flexibility of the thin stick. A rocking base seemed to spark inspiration in my mind. That took many, many tries before it was bent just enough to rock yet not to snap.
Once the base was sturdy, the rest of the structure was easy to make, strong enough for 3 balls and it could rock from side to side according to the movement of the ball.
The shadows of the structure was very interesting so I decided to capture that too.

Our final task for the rotation was to make a covering for the structure; which acted as skin over a skeleton. This had to cover the structure and was to protect it from a bounce from a basketball.
Unfortunately my structure was too fragile and the protection didn't do a very good job at protecting it.
