Developed Sketchup Model

Hey fellows from ARCH1101, I managed to put some textures to my model one for the top, one of the mid and one from the bottom.

The top texture is transparent which is a man-made texture symbolising light passing through glass

The mid texture is wooden which also is a man-made texture which can symbolise wood

AND the bottom texture is brittle which is a natural texture that reveals a name of a particular rock.Piccinini's work is "We Are Family", when I first looked at this masterpiece, I thought this was a painting shown by the background but I realised it was a sculpture. The way Piccinini created this masterpiece is that she must have used some form of rubber or clay to create the mother and the babies. They were organised in some kind of sofa bed which looks like a curved swimming pool. The way Piccinini designed the animals is that they look like bizzare human like dogs, I didn't mean to criticise her artwork but it find the design of animals really strange.Swallows work looks really futuristic by the design of the skulls. The skulls must have been made by a variety of materials such as LED light as well as different kinds of plastic materials. The top part of the skull and the bottom of the jaw uses a variety of colours such as red, blue and green to make it really futuristic. What I find interesting about this artwork is that they look more like bionic skulls and are clearly related to the designs of a robot head by it's aesthetics and function.
