A.


My design and technology major work: the most interesting part of this project is the different materials that have been used but how they still are able to work together. The mixture of glass, metal, silver, fabric, beading and plastic coincide together to create something meaningful. The paper weights on the plates are made from clay but are covered with 99.9% silver called PMC3, and they were the most difficult part of this project as it took a while to acquire the skills. It also took a long time to learn the skill of how to make the glass plates, of the centre piece but, at the end of the day the project was a success and something unique and intriguing was created.

Casa Batllo by Antonio Gaudi, Barcelona Spain: I came across this building on a tourist bus in Barcelona it was a like no other building i have ever seen, by the fact that Gaudi was able to design a building with the limitation or more a challenge of not using any corners in his design. It was this building that made me want to be able to push my self over the limits and design and create something marvelous and one day inspire another to pursue my dream of becoming an architect.

Bullfighter: Spanish bullfighter's are exciting and energetic as well as entertaining. It is their skill, talent and their ability to face a bull coming right towards them, with no fear inside them, that makes them so interesting. When dodging the bull, the bullfighter has perfect body structure almost lifeless in a sense, like a mannequin put into position.
