Week 3 submission continued - Including my developed sketchUp

After the advice of the tutor, these are my textures presented in a more orderly fashion. I have not deleted the original uploads as I like the idea of view my development in Google SketchUp and Blog presentation

Ricky Swallow:
In developing his artwork iMan Prototypes, Ricky Swallow used injected molded resin with colour tint in an edition of 4 units, each 16 x 11.5 x 18.5 cm.
In the process of using injected molded resin, a large force must be used to inject the polymer into the hollow mold cavity. Here, more melt must also be packed into the mold during solidification to avoid shrinkage in the mold. Injection molding machines consist of two basic parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit.


Injection Unit

The injection unit melts the polymer resin and injects the polymer melt into the mold. The unit may be ram fed or screw fed.


Clamping Unit

The clamping unit holds the mold together, opens and closes it automatically, and ejects the finished part. The mechanism may be of several designs: mechanical, hydraulic or hydro-mechanical.
The process can be succinctly synthesized in four parts: melting of plastic resin, injection of melt into the mold, cooling of the mold and removing the part.



Sidney Nolan:
Sidney Nolan committed his work, The Trial, with enamel on composition board measuring 90.7 x 121.2 cm.
Nolan’s artistic technique was unique and is seen as unusual. An enamel paint is a paint that supposedly dries to an extremely hard, usually glossy, finish. In reality, most commercially-available enamel paints are significantly softer than either vitreous enamel or stoved synthetic resins. Some enamel paints have been made by adding varnish to oil-based paint. Typically the term "enamel paint" is used to describe oil-based covering products, usually with a significant amount of gloss in them, however recently many latex or water-based paints have adopted the term as well. The term today means "hard surfaced paint" and usually is in reference to paint brands of higher quality, floor coatings of a high gloss finish, or spray paints.

After the tutorial I wasnt satisfied with my work, so this is a second attempt at the work that was asked. You will see the developed scale of the building and the finished nature of the design with textures applied
