TASK
Students are requi red to fol l ow the weekl y workshop
schedul e and task. Each week students are requi red
to bri ng thei r stati onari es and tool s to make 3 or
more model s duri ng the Fri day tutori al sessi on 9AM12NOON. Everyone has to be at cl ass at 9AM. It wi l l
be a gui ded workshop.
The task i s to make 3 or more cube
mock up
model s base on the gi ven techni que and pri nci pl es
of the week. And to compl ete the 3 (or more) model s
duri ng the tutori al sessi on.
The ai m i s to understand the di fferent methods to
mani pul ate a cube. Each week students are requi red
to fol l ow the task and eventual l y after 4 seri es of
gui ded and sel f l earn mani pul ation, students are
requi red to make the fi nal model !

WEEK TWELF
PART A - CUBE MANIPULATION TRANSFORMATION
Students are requi red to do 3 types of cube base on
the word gi ven to them, appl yi ng the techni ques and
methods from week 10 and week 11 that best refl ect
the gi ven word. (can combi ne techni ques)

After the tutori al sessi on, to come up wi th the fi nal

other type of materi al .
Then between thei r group members they wi l l deci de on
one model that they l i ke most and make the fi nal
model usi ng thei r chosen materi al (s) base on the
model but i t has to be doubl e the si ze of the weekl y
mock up model s.
