Esquisse Two - Understanding Form


Esquisse Two
I found this second Esquisse quite challenging especially trying to work out the dimensions of each triangle using Pythagoras. After some instruction from the teacher, I began understanding the simpler way of finding these measurements.
From here it was a matter of just cutting it out.
My next challenge was to figure out how to hold all the sides together. I decided to use the same method used in Esquisse one. This again was quite tricky; trying to work out which sides need to be cut on a 45 degree angle and which are left.
Overall this task has made me to start thinking about objects in 3D and how they are constructed.
