GERMINATION
COLOUR :The outer skin turns pale dark and brown from the sides.
TEXTURE: The hard, tough outer skin becomes soft. It released little water as well
the coconut turned black from the inside since it was opened.
The first layer (green part) part was not affected By the sunlight
I noticed a little odour coming from the inside .

LIFE CYCLE OF A COCONUT
SEEDING
A coconut palm reaching maturity will sprout several coconuts at a time. Over almost 12 months, the nut grows heavier and heavier until eventually falling to the ground or being picked down for planting.
SPROUTING
Coconut seeds, like other horticultural life forms, need to germinate in order to grow into new plants. This entails the nut falling to the ground and being buried, similar to how seeds would be planted on a field. A coconut seed can take up to 9 months before it starts to sprout. Once several weeks have passed, the outer shell and husk of the nut splits apart, and the root bursts out.
GROWING
A coconut that has sprouted will continue to grow at a quickened pace. Over a few months, a coconut’s sprout with reach 60 - 100 centimeters. The sprout’s trunk will also increase in diameter and become thicker.
REACHING MATURITY
A coconut palm typically takes 3 or 6 years before it starts flowering. The trees can be classified according to the size and stature of the palm and referred to as Talls and Dwarfs. They are also monoecious. In other words, they consist of male and female flowers on the same inflorescence that develops within a woody spathe. The Talls are approximately 8 meters tall, although some trees can grow to be 20 meters or more. The Dwarfs can be just 2 - 3 meters tall when producing fruits. The tree will also grow about 30 leaves, which grow in layers. Old layers on the bottom fall off, while new layers develop on top to maintain the umbrella shape.
BLOOMING
After 3 to 6 years, flowers begin to grow from the tree tops. The flowers cluster together near where the leaves cluster. The flowers eventually produce fruits, more coconuts, after about 9 months. Once the nuts mature, they drop to the ground, and the cycle restarts.

REVISED THREADS
Since capstone is our project I decided to work on 3 Threads, I feel I would be able to work in depth instead of forcefully taking the other two and working on them I chose to have the threads which make me feel excited and motivate me to explore them more
Explorations
TEXTURE
ABSTRACT
LINES
Design opportunities
After IDD 1 I was able to realise a lot of potential and possibilities to work further on. Here are some of the opportunities and possibilities considering Coconut .
Redefined brief
From the design possibilities I chose to move further with working on Abstract and shell part of the coconut . After the Ideation1 and Design opportunities , It was easy for me to realise the area I was most intrigued by . Redefined brief helped me set the boundaries and confirmed the idea I wanted to work on.
REALISATION:
the whole process of taking out key findings and threads made me realise that I was able to make enough connections and during the process of making them I was able to make more and more sense of my subject.
REFLECTION
I had fun while making the textures and abstract but i struggled a lot while making lines. All this while I did not think if it's right or wrong I just worked and drew what popped in my head as Kishore sir always says 2 minute drawings.
IDD 2
In this phase we had apply our 2D and 3D ideations developed so far, to a discipline specific context, to reach a creative design outcome that presents a thematic interpretation of your chosen subject that reflects your evolving personal creative expression.
EXPLORING CONTEXT
We had to select one specific design opportunity which aligns with our discipline and can be our potential outcome with the context of our chosen disciplines.
I decided to go ahead with Abstract form of coconut because I realised that it would not only bring out the essence of my subject but also be accurate considering that I am an aspiring fashion designer.
I could clearly see abstract jewellery out of these designs.
RE-DEFINED BRIEF
After selecting our potential outcome, we had to give context to our forms so that it aligns with our research and knowledge of our subject.
