Production We transported the sculpture from Robin’s place to school’s Fabrication Lab, and get our hands dirty. We did the lights, we put on a trial layer of skin on our sculpture and the dress drape which drags on behind the sculpture. AFTER Production, We discussed about the proposal write up to Man Fut Tong Nursing Home (which sahida is in the midst of writing up to them) to volunteer and we thought of creative activities, such as getting them to design on our plastic (that we will cut out in squares) where they can write about what they think Love is to them.
We feel that asking someone of a more mature age, they would have already lived their lives and gone through a lot, with that, they would have a different view of what love really is.
The designed plastic would be used on our prototypes that will be showcased as part of the exhibition.
Exhibition Space Our space would be at the school library. We have already went down to look at it, and we have already planned out to how it would like. pictures taken by zila minutes done by ziqq

FYP MEETING 3 Meeting with Lydia 14 May 2009
After showing Lydia our completed torso’s exoskeleton, further discussion about pushing our ideas forward were done.
Question raised out of the meeting 1. Listing down our budget 2. Adding dramatic effects to the skirt 3. Where will be the location of our exhibition
Lydia mentioned that we should keep all of our receipts. Upon hearing that, we currently spent a total of $7++. Which was later mentioned to be great things as we are creating a statement by “spending a minimal amount on art”.
Since we are DDI students, we need something to create a sense of interaction between product and users. Lydia then mentioned adding movement to the skirt or dramatic effects on the skirt.
OUR IDEAS: • Adding a puffy skirt using the mechanics of an umbrella to be placed on the lower part of the exoskeleton. This was our initial idea, which was to a Victorian style skirt by using the help of an umbrella to create that effect. Picture 1 will best describe our thoughts.

• Basically the video is about the usage of light in a tangible material. IN this case it’s balloon. Since effects are needed to create a WOW factor, we can play around with the lights such just like the video. The skirt can be lighted up in momentum or different timing for each section.

• Another idea was to create a red carpet on the long skirt. We want the viewer to walk on the red carpet which then leads to our sculpture. The colours will change slowly from white to off-white, pink then to red. Ziqq thought of using different materials such as ironed plastic and cloth for a better transaction. Picture 2 will give you a rough idea of how it is to look like. Picture 2
For our exhibition location, we have yet to decide. But we have some possible ones. • National Library (Bugis) • Jurong Library Open space • A hospital • Bugis Illuma
Robin raised an interesting idea about adding meaning/value to our work after everything is done. Here are some of the ideas. • To sell/auction our works and the money go to a charity organisation • To have an art workshop using the concept of our work which is “Spending a minimal amount on Art”.
We thought of doing it for the children suffering for an illness such as cancer/leukaemia. We wanted to add meaning to their life and to encourage them to express their emotions healthily which is through art. This website are a list of possible organisation we could volunteer.
13 MAY 2009 Objective of the day: to complete the torso, the upper part of the sculpture Objective achieved.
