PUSHING THE MATERIAL TO THE LIMIT

1. For this week I wanted to make several drawing machines which all draw a circle. I want to experiment with the speed of drawing. I want to test how fast the machine can spin and still draw a circle. The first object I made was a clock. I added a pencil on the mechanism. Every minute the tool draws a new circle. Actually, the pencil was too heavy for the mechanism, so I didn't get a perfect circle. I really like the uncontrolled dots of the ink.

2.The next object I made was from a toy with a small motor in it. I attached a pencil on a wire and turned it on. When the pencil is making circles it vibrates a bit so you get a very nice pattern in the circle.

3. I decided to use a tool that's a bit stronger and spins a lot faster than the previous object. So I used a drill, I just added a pencil and tried to draw a circle. As you can see I was still able to draw a circle, in the line you can see other small circles from the spinning of the drill. I really liked that effect

4. For the last object, I used a mixer. I also added a pencil and tried to draw a circle. I did this while the speed was on 1. I can still draw a circle but I feel that's it is not very easy.
