Final Stretch: Steampunk River Cottage
I’m making good progress on the final artifact. I have obtained nearly all necessary materials and just need to get welding. Pros: Structural material is in Good idea of how I will assemble the structure Have all tools necessary for assembly Cons: Still have to cut material to size Still have to order servo w/…
Read More Design Review: Steel/Steampunk River Cottage
I plan to use a similar steampunk-type aesthetic in my final project. The water wheel will be two steel gears and the building and side panels of the base will be sheet steel. The frame for the base will be made of 1/2″ square tubing. Welding will be the primary process of assembly, but it…
Read More Top Five Constraints: Clockwork Building
I have changed my main project idea slightly to incorporate more of my steel/metal aesthetic that I used in my upcycle project and shifted the scope to be not a GOT inspired clockwork building, but to be another metal scene that incorporates metal and water with moving parts in an organic way. Specifically, I plan…

I brainstormed for a long…

I wanted to utilize this aesthetic by creating representations of living, organic things out of remnant steel, and so began to brainstorm possible representations that I could possibly…
Read More Upcycle Progress: Bringing Steel to Life
I have had the idea of recycling steel in my mind as soon as the assignment was given, specifically by using it to represent living, organic things. I love the idea of making something organic and alive out of something as cold and lifeless as steel. I soon landed on the idea of making trees…
Read More Aesthetic Exploration: Touch of Color
The aesthetic called a “touch of color” or “dash of color” has been used in still art, photography, and film for years. The aesthetic uses backdrops or settings that are substantially desaturated or even gray-scale with a single saturated element. It forces an instant response from audience to focus on the saturated element and uses the…
