As I have (probably) mentioned in my last post, I’m not a open write-down-everything type of person, and is really really bad at this, but here I am so… I guess we’ll begin?

For this check in we discussed my project and what I could do to improve on what I have done. I currently have finished a draft on the layout of my city as well as an prototype on how I will accomplish my 3D design idea. The idea consists of a piece of paper folded to a 90 degree angel and will be held in place my some sort of wooden stick. The stick will serve as a sort of hinge that will help move the paper up and down. This prototype will be used for the more prominent buildings that will be created. For the rest of the city scape I will stick two pieces of folded paper together (again at the 90 degree angle). The paper for both of these designs will be the base structure and I will later on add a drawing of the building (so if it was an apartment building I would draw one on blank paper and than stick it onto the folded base paper). After that the base paper will be stuck on to the base.

Some things that I still have to improve/complete is probably starting the project itself (what I just explained was speculation and guesswork). Another aspect that I could attempt is on connecting with a someone in the community, perhaps a doctor or someone who knows about the human anatomy. I still need to get fairy lights to completely have all the materials that I need.

Do you ever get the feeling in which you feel so overwhelmed with whatever is going on that the world seems to spin all around you? If so, than you can probably guess how i am feeling as I have just started recently on a large project. I’ll tell you right now, I’m not good at writing stuff down on blogs or stuff, and in all honesty, I don’t know what I’m doing… But since I’m supposed to tell you about my project and ideas, I guess I will start (and end my useless babbling).

My project idea is based on the human body and linking it with the idea of a city. A city is built up of its people and the community built within, but in this city, the people consist of cells. Normal cells build up the bodies flesh and muscle everything else. This city area will feature the metropolitan area of heavy traffic and general crowdedness. Most of the civilian complexes will be apartments. The more prominent buildings will be a extra large tree, city hall, sewage and power plant, and a school. Since every city has issues such as thieves or criminals, this city will have the same perpetrators in the shape of an infection. the police in these cases will be white blood cells.

 Some things that I will need to work on from the input I received from my first checkin would probably be to have a firmer idea of what I am going to try to accomplish. I don’t have a draft for my project or a prototype yet so I will probably work towards accomplishing those ideals. I probably should also work towards connecting with community members for ideas. Some ideas that I came up with during with the check in was possibly contacting my family doctor. Currently my resource for information has been Google and my mom, both of which have been very helpful.
