For my 3D sketch models, I created 3 that I felt could show the properties of dominant, subdominant, and subordinate pieces. However, not all of the were able to portray these properties in an interesting and engaging way and so I picked out one favourite amongst the 3 that I wanted to be my final model. The two least favourite are discussed below.

01. Sketch Model 1

For this sketch model, I conducted a 2D analysis that highlighted areas of improvement. For example, the length of the subdominant and the dominant pieces are quite similar; they look as though they are from the same family.

In my 2D sketch analysis, I have added small notes and measurements of the model to comment on some of the improvements and the properties of the model with regards to the dominant, subdominant, and subordinate pieces.

02. Sketch Model 2

This sketch model makes use of voids and of levitating pieces to add aesthetic properties and to make the model more interesting overall. However, the placement of the subordinate (SO) did not make use of all the axis of x, y, and z, as from the back the SO was not visible. Additionally, the widths of the SO and SD are similar and look as though they’re from the same family. To improve this model, I would shorten the width of the SO to be 2/3rds of the SD  and also possibly move up the SD to sit on the 1/3rd line of the dominant piece.

These two models were the models that I decided were not ‘exhibition-worthy’ enough, per se, and so I decided to just show how they could be further improved.
