Golf Ball Exercises

The following pieces are examples of Golf Ball Exercises created by my students in Kinetic Design courses at both Pratt Institute and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Each four-inch cube must conceal and then reveal a golf ball in some way.  Students are free to approach the problem however they like as long as the box moves in at least two distinct ways.  The variety of mechanical solutions becomes very broad and the class’s internal catalogue of spatial movements and model-making techniques expands.
