Drawing Box

I designed another device/instrument to produce drawings which visually record movement within a space and the traces and marks the movement leaves in a space. The drawing instrument itself was easy to make. I got a sweet tin and sprayed it black to cover up the product design as it doesn't relate to the project, I am using the tin because of its cylindrical shape.

This is the sprayed black tin.

To make the piece that creates the drawing I took out the ink tubes from a green, black, red and blue biro. I taped the ink tubes to the inside of a roll of tape so that the tip of the pen meets the rim of the roll of tape (I used a roll of tape again because of its shape).

I then places this into the tin on top of a circular piece of paper that lines the base of the tin. I closed the box so the cylinder shape with the attached pens was enclosed inside. I then began to move the box so the pens moved around visually recording the movement I was making.

I will post some of the drawings shortly.
