The main objectives for today are to introduce the hand-operated mechanism kit,  then experiment in pairs with moving textiles via simple mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hand-Cranked Mechanism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical focus of the next assignment is to use simple human-operated mechanisms to activate a textile sculpture.   Today we&#8217;ll explore a kit of parts designed to combine in several ways to make handwheels, pulleys,  and reciprocating cranks.  The kit includes a set of standard components such as dowel pins, clevis pins, screws and eyebolts.  It also includes custom laser-cut plywood parts which can be fitted together using a combination of wooden dowel pins and screws.  We will be using pegboard as the foundation onto which to assemble simple machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technical objective is a system compatible with assembly  and experimentation using only a few hand tools.  The aesthetic objective is a design language emphasizing handcraft in harmony with the aesthetics of textile craft.  Students will be free to use the kit parts or to design or customize their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>(TBD: links to documentation on kit parts)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2>Assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next assignment is <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/assignments\/action\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"7811\">Assignment 4: Action at a Distance<\/a> in which you will make a site-specific kinetic textile sculpture activated by simple hand-activated mechanisms.
