Cone, Sphere, Cylinder

So on the first lesson of curvilinear volumes, I experimented and explored cones, spheres and cylinders using foams, papers, plasticine and more. With that I created 2 models of curvilinear volumes.

Model 1
Model 1 – top & bottom view


I like this model because there is a distinguish size between the cone and cylinder. However the cylinder and sphere has similar volume when it is look at the bottom view.

Model 2
Model 2 – bottom view, front view, back view

As compared to Model 1, I prefer this a bit more because of cone and flat cylinder where I pierce it together. However, similarly to the Model 1, Model 2 has cluster of similar volume. And in Model 2, I did not put in much thoughts about the things I had learnt for the previous mistakes.

Overall, as a start, it was quite challenging. Firstly, cutting the cone was one of a challenge, hence I decided to use paper for it. But I manage to cut cylinder and sphere. (I dont have the documentation of this)

Secondly, this assignment is quite challenging as compared to the previous assignment. In this assignment, it requires the curvilinear volumes to be at different angles. Hence I had to keep thinking and trying which object should be the base to support everything. I tried to avoid the tip of the cone to touch the base or any other object, as the tip is an interesting feature in the cone.
