This was the first of the art and design taster sessions I took part in, in it we were tasked to create any object we wanted by using metal rods and a soldering iron to connect them together and create shapes. I decided to make something simple yet something that would allow me try out different shapes and give me enough experience with the soldering iron. I realised that recreating the goggles I was wearing would be a good idea as they had various different textures and curves and uneven points that would be interesting to recreate as a 3D model. During the session I found that soldering points onto other points exactly where you're meant to isn't always possible, I found on numerous occassions that the metal rods slipped and caused me to meld the wrong points onto one another, this definitely affected the final outcome of the piece. However I was happy with how my piece turned out considering this was my first attempt at 3D modeling in my life, although If I'd known that it is with relative ease that you can make shapes beforehand, I would have attempted to construct a more ambitious object.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this session and would definitely consider looking further into this medium perhaps as a future means of creating interesting set designs for when shooting or as a way to create objects to enhance exhibitions, as I believe there is a lot of scope for creating interesting designs.
