Everyone continued to work on their models and chairs on Monday. A few of us have metal components to our chairs, so we attended an orientation at the foundry with John so that we could use the facility to construct our chairs. There is so much equipment and so much you can do over there, it is kind of a shame that our department doesn't take advantage of it more often. Anyway, everything seems to be running smoothly in the shop so far, and while it's kind of a bad time to take five, that is just what we are going to do, five days that is! Hopefully Thanksgiving break will give everyone some time to relax and reflect so we can come back well rested and ready to finish out the semester on a good note!
The wood that we ordered finally got delivered today! Everyone who is building their chair at full scale for the competition has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our materials so that we could begin construction. It feels good to be back in the shop working again. Although, I think the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty hectic!
We spent more time today talking about the exhibit posters. The discussion focused on whether to use brown or black paper or if the images should be in black and white or in color. Also, it was decided that the band at the top which unites all of the posters will now be an abstract collage of images having to do with chairs instead of four specific images pertaining to each topic. So, which one do you think looks best?
