100 Word Statement

"In this course, I have been able to expand my knowledge and understanding of communicating certain aspects within the built environment. Through learning various skills in Fusion 360, I was able to design models that reflected my perspective. In the design of the 3D initials model, I created a unique object with various curving edges and textures that indicate aspects of my life. The physical appearance of the model (made using my initials H.K.L) as well as the contrasting textures such as Jade and black/gold Titanium Nitride, were used to represent my Australian/Chinese upbringing. Therefore, through learning these new skills I am able to translate my human experiences into my creations."

Total: 113 words

At first I talked about the skills I learned from the course as a whole, but upon further review and feedback, I focused more on a specific aspect which in this case was creating the initials model that was to be 3D printed.
