Standard #5: Art Critisim (Reflect & Assess)
Reflect upon and assess the characteristics and merits of their work and the work of others.
- Compare multiple purposes for creating works of art.
- Analyze contemporary and historic meaning in specific artworks through cultural and aesthetic inquiry.
- Describe and compare a variety of individual responses to their own artworks and to artworks from various eras and cultures.
I designed my products to speed up the modelling process of aerospace engineering. I designed them from experience. Once, I designed a plane. I put several study halls worth of math and research into it. I figured that in theory, my design should fly, but the only way to be sure was to build a scale model. However, that model took a long time to build, and wasn't very structurally sound. I figured that if I had a structurally sound, ready made fuselage, I would have been able to focus my efforts on more important engineering problems. And thus, the multi-use tube was born. It can be used for a plane's fuselage, a rocket casing, and many other things. The Premade Parachute pack was the brainchild of another problem. I spent several days designing a working parachute for my homemade high altitude research capsule, Gascan 1. It works, but doesn't fit within the confines of the capsule. The Chute allows engineers to work on fixing aerodynamic problems before building a parachute. Finally, the reusable tail-plane is a rocket fin set that perfectly fits the multi-use tube. (or other 1 in. diameter tubes.)

The Finished Product
My final product had nothing to do with my logo. I designed it to eliminate the problems of turning on a traditional sled. If you turn with a traditional sled too tightly, you will fall off into the snow, which is not a plesant experience. The 4-play solves this by separating all four limbs, so you can turn your limbs separately.
