scale bar (10mins). Additional layers of paint to miniature bar sections
(20mins + drying time). Assist in making miniature chairs for model box
(30mins). Paint final base layer on molded sculpey clay 10mins + drying
time).
Wednesday: Photoshop tutorial session (150mins). Sketch
and paint designs on miniature bar sections (30mins + drying time). Cut and
glue bottle shelf sections together (30mins). Paint shelf sections (20mins +
drying time).

OUTCOMES:
What worked?
The wood and sculpey
segments of the miniature bar dried rather rapidly, allowing multiple layers
to be applied in short amounts of time.
What didn’t work?
Attempting to make the
sculpey retain it shape was rather complicated, as it would try to resort to
a flat shape, rather than the curvature we required.

CONCLUSION:
What have you learned from these processes?
It was rapidly discovered
that particular materials can be utilized in various ways, producing
differing results, some of which were helpful, but also allowed the
realization of their limitations.
How will this help you develop your design?
This creates the
understanding that each material should be used in particular ways, and that
they each create different results and effects, meaning that when require a
particular appearance for an item, there are many ways to achieve the desired
effect.
Did you manage your time well? If not what
would you change?
A lot of the major aspects
of the piece were near completion by
the end of the week, which allowed for experimentation with
appearances and techniques which would prove to be highly effective and
invaluable for the end result.
