Final project for the year! SLICES T4b- the artist village.

and my architect is Cesar Pelli. Its a rather hectic process, but fun though (:

first I had to come up with a Mood box, and it looked like this in the end!

and from the moodbox, I decided to use the 3 elements that Cesar Pelli's works are wellknown for : metallic, geometrical and repetative. and therefore I ended up with this moodbox. and from there, I had to move on to start on my shophouse's mock up model.

it was fun, tiring and also costly I should say, hahaha. My workmanship wasn't good, at all on the mock up. it was more like a "just paste" kind of mind set. But, I think the outcome was still acceptable(:

I didn't take photos of my final model though. Forgetful me):

anyway, I think that the project has taught me that time management is really crucial if I wanna do well. Otherwise, when time gets tight, I either can't complete, or just rush through and the result is not satisfactory indeed.

oh, and we had a fun exercise too. kelly asked us to snip and fold some coloured paper, play around with it, and here is the outcome!

it turned out to be something creative and interesting(:

and we had to think of what our spaces could be too, I wrote for mine : playground and MYHOME. Its an interesting way to spark our thoughts when we have no idea on how to start off in any projects.(:

THE LABYRINTH(:

ANDANDAND!! finally! OUR MAIN PROJECT!

we had to do a 400 by 400 by 400 actual model in true materials!

i used acrylic and wood for the model.

we had to transfer our tessellation to the model. and it must have the concept of the "escher model".

the model is a very challenging task for me, because i only took D&T in Sec02!

and also, i had to transfer my tessellations from paper to 100 by 100 tiles.

i completed it rather fast, even before completing my actual model. haha!

and this is my completed model!!

Using our ontography, we had to make a set of tesselations!

1 in colour; 1 in patterns; 1 in gradient of blacks

haha. its very fun yet tiring. because the tessalation is 400mm by 400mm!

and after dat we used the tesselation to make a model out of satay sticks.

we had to make 4, 3 using normal paper for the interior and 1 using Z0 card for the interior.

mine! the one using Z0 cards(:

PERSPECTIVE DRAWING(:
hello. today was a confusing day.

we started off by doing one-point perspective drawings.

we were introduced to diff methods of drawing one-point perspective.

theres : plotting;estimation;grid.

and we had to use the plotting method to do a A1 size one-point perspective drawing.

one-point perspective drawing

in the afternoon. we had to do a escher model using Z0 cards. hah

i grouped with yiliang and henry. and the model was so so confusing.

it took me some time to fully visualise the model to be made.

and we completed it on time! YAY US!

the model looks something like this. this is not mine though(:

RUSSIAN DOLLS

next up! we had to make russian dolls!

using the concept of our emo drawings and ppb, we had to create a set of russian dolls
at first i didnt have a clue of how i am going to make it!
in the end i decided to use styrofoam balls, cardboard and paper.

haha. first time i had to MAKE a toy. totally on my own. goodness.

i nearly could not make it for the submission due to my sleepines.
kept procrastinating. but in the end i managed to finish it off..i like the "tigger" one best
it seems more defined somehow..haha!

oh! and for documentation, we had to make a Peek-a-boo(k) !
those kind for children to read, and i kinda liked that idea. seems fun!
but i soon realised it was actually not as easy as it seems too.
the colouring of the pages and the compilation is hard work

and my final results is shown below!

TUTTY FRUITY
okays. On monday morning, we were told to bring a fruit. i brought a lemon to school as no round fruits were allowed. haha. and as i expected, our assignment for the day - TUTTY FRUITY -was to draw the fruit! 9 different views and 2 cross section views. so many right? and i regretted bringing a lemon ): because i don tink it has 9 views to draw. everywhere looks the same. should have brought a more complicated fruit, like what ashler brought-brocolli !
