Tech @ Tamaki College

This week for tech we have been doing some edits on the workbook. Mr. Grundy has told us about small parts in the silhouettes, he has told us that it would break off when its in the metal process. He has also helped us change the silhouettes to make the shape better. I am close to finishing my photos, I have decided to do my mum as my creation for pewter casting because she's special to me. I enjoyed tech this week and I hope to get onto the drawing.

Tech Reflection

This week for Tech we have been doing pewter casting with Mr. Grundy. Today we looked at continuing with our Workbook that we started last week. I have changed some of my silhouettes as Mr. Grundy made it clear that small parts can break off easily because of how soft the metal would be and because the size of it.  I enjoyed tech thi week and I hope next week we will get onto the creation.

Tech @ Tamaki College

This week Friday the year 8’s started their first session of tech at Tamaki College. This term we are working with pewter in Mr. Grundy’s class. On our first day we looked at a few examples of some of the things we might be creating, and Mr. Grundy also showed us the process of how it is created. Then we started making up some of our own ideas for the pewter.
