Applied Inventiontronics, Perid 4 - Week 6

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Glitch was at the front of the class again today, and on each desk were a few sheets of clean, un-lined paper and two pencils.

"Today, you're going to be working on the look of your inventions. For the first half of the class, I want you to sketch out a design. It doesn't have to be too detailed, but, the idea is that you'll get a feel for how it will all come together and look when it's done. Remember things like functionality and overall aesthetic appeal."

He smiled reassuringly at them, because this next part he was afraid they wouldn't really like.

"The second half of class, you'll be showing your sketches to your classmates and critiquing each other." There was a stern look before he continued with, "Nicely, please."

A moment, then, as he looked at them a bit expectantly before he realized he hadn't told them yet to begin.

"Oh, uhm, right. Go ahead. Begin!"

Use happy icons since there are no robots this time.

There isn't much to take notes on, but you can if you like.

Ah, nothing like a class with your kidnapper. Jaina had a feeling her energy today would be spent on not trying to throw a desk at him or something.

Sketch away! He won't mind if you talk to each other while you draw.

Liir had been working on sketches for weeks now, so it was more a matter of refinement than anything for him. As such, he had a little time to smile over at Andrew.

Thanks to A.J., Andrew literally had an entire notebook full of design sketches. He had made a few tweaks here and there as his research progressed, but he didn't feel like he had much to do right now.

So as soon as he saw Liir look his way, he snuck over and took a seat next to him.

"Hi," he whispered.

Willow concentrated as she drew out a rough idea for her teapot.

Bridge grabs the paper and a pencil and begins working on sketching something that sort of resembles a pair of sunglasses.

Sokka still wasn't sure what he actually wanted to invent for the class, so he sketched out a detailed schematic (http://screenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/310/120.jpg) adapting the submarine from The Search for Orange November into something that could be powered by waterbenders.

Anders was kind of really bad at drawing anything that wasn't a diagram in a playbook or regulation-size court/field schematics to scale, but his tongue was poking out of the corner of his mouth as he scribbled away at something that looked (at least in his head) like a remote-control steampunk espresso machine.

Honestly, if drawings sounded like anything, this one would sound like a riotous cacaphony of random scribbles.

And that would be A.J.'s forehead against the desk, occasionally with a few light clunks. How the hell was he going to sketch something he still hadn't thought of yet? Maybe having a near sketchbook full of designs for other people's projects might count toward something...

Rikku tried some sketches, and then balled them up and threw them away. Rinse. Repeat.

Most people wouldn't be able to sketch so easily while wearing armored gauntlets.

Doom was better than most people.

And the flight boots he was sketching were better than most forms of flight boots.

At one point Jaina blantantly looked to see what he was working on. "The old ones just not working for you?" she asked dryly.

Second half of class (2/11)

He'll be walking around and checking up on things, so try to not be too terribly rude to each other.

Re: Second half of class (2/11)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He was mostly done with his design (the version he was going to show, anyway), and so he sat and looked around for anyone else who was done.

TA (2/11)

Talk to the TA when she gets in for the talking.

Re: TA (2/11)

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was there and ready to chat with anyone who had TA needs.

After Class (2/11)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

If you just can't leave yet or need to talk, he's hanging around afterwards.

There was a nervous bundle of Ozian waiting for him at the end of class.

"Professor," Doom said, approaching Glitch. "Doom requires your assistance on a scholarly matter."

OOC (2/11)

My sleep schedule has gone insane! SP might just have to be love if I end up waking up in the middle of the afternoon, because then I'll be picking up tags while being a nanny.

Yay multitasking!
