drawing and sketching

My improvements in lo-fi prototyping were largely because I've never really done it before and hadn't seen the value in it until I started doing it here. At first, my models were not very decipherable and fell apart a bit but I think I got better through the studio and I had improvements in drawing and sketching. I think the morning shape sketching has helped me understand shapes and perspective better and over all helped improve my art skills. I feel like I got better at expressing myself through more physical mediums. For engage and persist I think I got better at interacting and asking questions.

lo-fi prototyping

My first object is four tamales that represent my family members; they are wrapped in tissue paper to emulate the texture of corn husks, and when you unwrap them, there are drawings that represent the corresponding family member. The memory for this project was making tamales as a child with my family. My next object was a play structure I went to as a 5-year-old, but inside the pods that the play structure had, I put a sketch of a memory of trying to read a book as a kid, except I'm dyslexic. My third idea is very similar to my second idea and incorporates elements of my first idea. It is a larger play structure from my childhood where multiple pods are hanging on the rope, each representing a core part of my identity with different memories on each face of the pods and the entire play structure representing me as a whole.
