Project 3 - Write Up

I have chosen Objects as my coding concept, focusing on how an Object is built from its Class. I have chosen this concept because it is a key element of object oriented programming and by providing people with a clear understanding of how Objects are treated by a program will hopefully give them a better understanding of this style of coding. An Object is an entity created by a predefined coded Class, allowing a program to build objects when required. The coded Class provides a blue print which the program uses to build an Objects initial State. Think of a Class as a Cookie Cutter, it provides the shape for the Cookie, and the Object is the Cookie once cut. By using a Class to create Objects it provides the program the ability to easily create multiple Objects with same or similar attributes. My exhibition piece demonstrates the process of building Objects from its Class by showing multiple paper block models as Objects in their constructed state, and the single blueprint of these Objects as the paper stencil used to cut out and fold to make the models, between which lies some deconstructed pieces of the models, allowing a person to take the role of the program to construct their own Object.
