PROJECT 1:SKETCH!LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

Project 1 required us to produce eight number of sketches on a suitable A5-sized paper.We have to sketch body parts/figure/nature,object projection,geometric projection,my city-projection,one-point-perspective of an area in Taylor's University Campus,two-point perspective of an area in Taylor's University Campus,details in Taylor's University Campus and tracing a picture of a building.All of these must be in free hand drawing,without using any ruler.

Following are the sketches of mine for Project 1:

One Point Perspective of an area in Taylor's University Campus

Two Point Perspective of an area in Taylor's University Campus

Details in Taylor's University Campus

              Objectives of this project were to identify a personal and expressive response to visual stimulation.Besides that,it also aimed to apply the basic principles and elements of design and drawing as a language to visualize and to communicate ideas.On the other hand,the learning outcome of this project intended to recognize one's potential for creativity,self-expression and visual awareness.Identifying the fundamental principles,elements,and techniques in sketching,drawing, and design process was also one of the learning outcome of Project 1.

                Throughout this project,I realized the importance of sketching and rendering.A perfect sketching and rendering techniques could make a drawing to look alive.This was why our drawings were ammended from time to time to reach the satisfactory level.Furthermore,the most beneficial things that I've learnt from this project were-How To Draw One Point Perspective and Two Point Perspective Drawings.Although I was not not good as the others did,from this project,I got to know that there was actually no any shortcuts to achieve successful.Practices and training were needed all time long to master the sketching and rendering techniques like how the title stated "SKETCH LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!".

PROJECT 2 :ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS & DIAGRAMS

For this project,it was divided into two parts which were part 2A and part 2B.Part 2A-a project where we were given a site within Taylor's University Campus.For my case,my group was given a site at Block C,Level 9.We were required to have a page of introduction of site and project,a layout plan,a detailed plan,three or four elevations,one of one or two point sketched perspectives,one sketched axonometrics and a page of details sketches applying the glass box theory as the completion of Project 2A.For the Project 2B,we were required to use the area from Project 2A to illustrate bubble diagrams and diagrammatic analysis.All the drawings and sketches were to be produced to scale and must be hand drawn.

Following are the pictures for Project 2:

      The learning outcomes of Project 2 were intended to identify the fundamental principles,elements and techniques in sketching,drawing,design process and presentation skills as well as demonstrate observation skills and enable to record,organize,interpret and describe a variety of issues via visual communications effectively.On the other hand,this Project 2 aimed to ademonstrate observation and visualization skills in variety of ways.
         Throughout this project,i was able to manipulate various media and resources to present my information in a proper way.By measuring,observing and documentating all the information of Block C,Level 9,i got familiar with it even more.Lastly,this project turned me into a more observant person as documentating needed everything in details.Any small mistakes were not allowed to be made,otherwise the measurements wouldn't be accurate.

        

PROJECT 3 :INTRODUCTION TO SITE ANALYSIS

Project 3,a project which introduced us to the site investigations and case study of our given site in previous Project 2A.We were needed to investigate and prepare a presentation report for the site.In a group,we had to prepare the information of the location of our site,a site context,the size and zoning of the site,man-made features around the site,circulation of the site,utilities which were available,sensory perception of the site,human activities around the site,climate and a SWOT analysis of the site.All drawings,sketches,and diagrams had to be produced in hand drawn or hand written format.While for the individual part,we were required to come up with a case study and propose idea which was suitable for the wall installation.

Following are the pictures of my group site analysis:

             The objectives of this project 3 were to demonstrate observation and visualization skills in a variety of ways depending on the area of specialization being pursued with an emphasis on the process of drawing.Besides that,it also aimed to develop one's confidence to use drawing as a means of communication to express the two dimensional and three dimensional ideas.While the learning outcome of this project enabled us to demonstrate skills of recording,organizing,interpreting and describing a variety of issues using visual communications effectively.Besides that,by completing this assignment,we were able to manipulate different kinds medias and techniques,too.

             Throughout this assignment, I was able to develop some better ideas for my final project,which was the wall installation.Furthermore,we are also able to try on some other methods to perform our presentation boards in a better way.Lastly,my recording skills,documentating skills and presentation skills improved a lot as the project kept going on because ammendments and tutorials were given from time to time to improve ourselves.

PROJECT 4 :  FEATURE WALL INSTALLATION DESIGN PROPOSAL

Feature Wall Installation Design Proposal was the final project for the Design Visualization module.For this final project,throughout the site analysis study,we were required to create a suitable functional wall installation at Block C,Level 9.This project was divided into two parts:(A)Presentation on our design ideas and process of obtaining our ideas.  (B)It was the final submission.Individually,we had to produce presentation boards which included the title and brief of the project,design developments of ideas,selected site analysis information,a site plan,a proposed plan,three elevations,three A6-sized sketched perspective and minimum one photomontage of the proposed wall design.Also,it was compulsory for us to make a model of our wall installation design.

Following are my presentation boards and final model of my wall installation design:

               The objectives of this project were to demonstrate observation and visualization  skills in a variety of ways depending on the area of specialism being pursued with an emphasis on the process of drawing.Besides that,it aimed to develop one's confidence to use drawing as a means of communication to express two dimensional and three dimensional ideas,too.On the other hand,the learning outcome of this final project were intended to develop the ability of recording,organizing,interpreting and describing a variety of issues as well as manipulated various kinds of media and techniques.

               Concentration on the development of ideas had been gone through for few weeks to improve our weaknesses.Throughout the assignment,everyone's creativity was shown.There was no exceptional to me,too.Creativity was used when I was making my model.Instead of just using perspect or model-making board to build my model,I used real glass to perform it.Thus,the aspect of manipulating variety of media and techniques to visualize ideas leading to a finish-product was greatly achieved here.In a nutshell,I felt contented to have this assignment because it was leading me to a higher level of design.
