CATAPULT PROTOTYPE
For our catapult project in Math, our group decided to build an air cannon. However in Art, we are learning how to design and carry out our ideas for building a catapult or any product we want. Since our group had already had settled on an idea early on and tested it at home, we decided to create a model prototype instead of a functional one. Above is a gallery of the our prototype from various angles (feel free to click on them). Normally, a prototype would either be made in the spur of the moment of a great idea, or after doing many drawings of the invention idea. However, for this class we did them before doing our sketches and scale drawing. We just created a prototype to see how each part would fit together and also get an estimate how big each part would be in comparison to each other. We used finalized our materials and the sizes of each piece later in our scale drawing, but this quick and easy prototype gave us a great estimate for the size.
