• Ideas for Future Deliverables• Conclusion

Purpose of Project

- To discover relationships Autumn -(is a) Color (Thank you Stephen)

- Present these findings to others

- New way of Learning

Modeling Examples

• Dynamic Models

Future Deliverables

• Create the 3-D Models

Foam Board and Balsa Wood• Virtual Reality• Have a Tour of Architecture Models• Or Exploring Paintings

Conclusion• Purpose of our endeavor

• Models and Understanding them

• Project Deliverables

• “Se non e vero, e ben trovato” Translation: “It may not be true, but it’s a great story.”
