The first day of the Arch project, we got into groups and we planned and design our arch. We had to think of how to make sure that the arch would be stable and can withstand the compression and tension of the plasticine on top of each other but, also make it look appealing in the same time. We decided to use satay sticks to make the curve of the arch and make it stand first and use plasticine to make the arch.
We have chosen to place the arch in a forest themed, therefore the arch would be coloured grey and brown with a little bit of green plasticine to show the perception of the vines in the forest. We also didn't want our arch design to be like everyone else's or something simple so we came up with a little bit of a different arch. Also, we decided that our arch would be on a wall to make it look more appealing.
This photo shows us planning our design. We also have a rough idea on the measurements. I really am looking forward to doing this project because I really like designing and also working in groups. I think I have given a lot of ideas to the group as the design of the arch was partly my idea. I am looking forward to actually making the arch using plasticine and also to become much more closer with my teammates.
