 Test 2

Saw eye liner

Reflection:
More stuffing can be inserted and more sawing could be done on the lashes to give a more polished effect.

7/1 Lovecard

Paper Engineering - pop up love card

I looked for various pop-up cards on Instagram, and found a very interesting bear pop up one, but it did not show how it was made, so I took some time to figure it out myself, changing it to a love theme pop up card. After a couple hours of researching and figuring out, it finally worked! 

Working process:

4/1 Turtle Art

Colorful Gradient Circles

Procedure: 
1/ Drag "arc" button from "Turtle" tab to the canvas, insert "180" for the angle and a random number for the radius.
2/ Repeat and enlarge or diminish the radius
3/ Repeat 1/ and 2/, then drag the turtle elsewhere on the canvas to form another gradient circle.

4/ Drag "set color" button from "Pen" tab to canvas, repeat 1/, 2/ and 3/
5/ Change color by changing the "set color" number each time a radius is adjusted.

2/1 Makey Makey

Potential Makey Makey Lesson Plan

1/ Connect Makey Makey into soft fabric so when people touches it various sounds are activated.

2/ Plug into or onto parts of human body, such as skin, hair, vein, or even organ such as the heart, so whenever there is body movements different sounds are activated.

3/ If there's the technology in the future, plug into a connector that connects to the brain so that each perception or thought can be projected as different kind of sounds.
