Art Keva Plank Blog Post

Art Keva Plank Reflection

This is an example of Cantilever




Summative Works:
Static Form: 

Static form was slightly easier to build. This form usually has a solid base and a stable structure. We made a hexagonal shape form he base and slowly tarted to narrow in the shape. Then we set some planks vertically and then built a triangular prism on top. This form is very straight forward with definite shapes. We really enjoyed building this!


Dynamic Form: 

This form took imagination and perseverance to build. This type of structure does not have a solid structure and "plays with your eyes." My team mate and I attempted to build a "bridge like" structure. We first made our horizontal structures and made cantilever to connect the two. Our structure fell down a few times, however we finally managed to stabilize the structure and finish the masterpiece. We got inspired to build this by looking at a dynamic building online. It was a curved structure, so we just made our structure look more like a bridge. 

Reflection Questions

1) My favorite part of this assignment was using my creativity to build amazing structures. I especially liked the dynamic form and cantilever because we needed to be careful and use our imagination to come up with a wonderful idea. Then we need to see how to actually build the structure. Each time, I would come up with a different time, from part of a castle to a house!

2) Keva planks can enhance creativity because you have to come up with different designs for your structures. Many different people have various an creative structures of their own. We had to do the same when we were building our own structures!

3) In Cantilever, we used some planks to weight some keva planks in order to keep the structure from falling. If we kept a block in an awkward position where it is going to fall, then we can use the weight of another block to support it. So we would put a few planks on top it it to keep it from falling. We created many masterpieces using cantilever in our class!
