Task Description:
Learners are to create a 3D model of an artificial human organ of their choice. The students
can use materials as they see fit, however they must create the basic shape of their organ
using wire-framing. The model can be submitted in either digital or physical format. The organ
should be relatively accurate in size and shape, the real life equivalent of the organ.
You will need to submit the following:
1. A life sized sculpture or digital render of a human organ.
Remember that you need to show your creative thought processes, using the process journal
to document and explain your artistic intentions.
