Fabricator

Responsibility
The job of the fabricator is to create a simple three-dimensional, physical model of the monument based on the drawings. You work closely with the designer.

Actions and Decisions
Make a scale, not life-size, model based on the dimensions of the monument. Three-dimensional means it has height, width, and depth.

You might choose from a variety of materials to make your monument.
wax
clay
foam core
papier maché
plaster of paris
block of soap
wire
aluminum foil

Take a photograph of the finished model to submit with the design package.
