Main Project: Animated Forms Material Matrix (groups of four)
Image: Nervous System
Observing
- Investigate further biological, chemical or mathematical form generation processes
Develop a mood board (sketches, photographs, material examples)
Making
- Iterate the form generation process with physical models
- Creating an animated material using the zoetrope
- Updated mood board to display project/processes
