Principles and practices

Week 1

The first project was to sketch a potential final project.
By working with an astronomical telescope, I see a good potential for developing many of the skills that FabAcademy emphasizes.
This project will benefit the students.

Sketches

To reduce the sketches image file size, I used FastStone Photo Resizer 3.8. See on YouTube: How to reduce picture file size (jpg)
As a reduction method I select Resize based on one side 600 pixels, and DPI 72 on both x and y.

Below I have tried to describe parts of my final project using sketches (Figure 2 - Figure 4).
I discovered that it's been a long time since I've used a pair of dividers.
