BYE BYE SEMESTER 1

22/5/08...ann siang hill...

another outing b4 class ends... we went 2 ann siang hill n URA. in URA we can see the development of whole sin.

ann siang hill looks quite an old place where u can see old buildings. however...i think the architectural style is quite cool...u cant see this kind off design is modern generation now.

20/8/08...crit...

after submission...we all know crit is coming up. so here it is. the crit this time is different from the previous one. this time we need to present our work and the lecturer give comment.

comment on my work:
1. not garang enough
2. something seems missing
3. use a stronger material.
4. doesn't bring out the special effect of metal
5. no strong concept

disadvantage of metal:
too wobbly. doesn't look strong

15/8/08...big day...

i took taxi to sch today just to save my model from crushing down. when i reach class, everyone was busy submitting their work. their model was all nicely done. so, i wasn't quite satisfied with what i have. but...what to do...just have to submit,it everything.

28/7/08 till 14/7/08...BIG...

i've decided 2 use metal 4 my big model. so me n alvin went 2 geylang 2 look 4 the hardware shop KY suggested us 2 go. well...the metal sheet cost $11 4 A0 size. it was quite cheap.

i started off quite late compared 2 others. when everyone was busy going 2 workshop, i was there doing nothing. i've no idea what 2 do....just when everyone was setting up their bits n pieces, then...i started cutting the metal sheet.

good point about metal sheet:

1. can be cut using NT cutter. so i dont need go 2 the cramped workshop

2. can be done at home

3. easily bend

well...honestly i was doing quite fast. without knowing it, i was half way throught already while those who started off earlier than me still cutting their bits n pieces. so i go in a rather slow pace throuhout the whole process. slacking now and then.

half way through

however i ended up rushing through everything the night before submission. i touch up my model and draw my 16 tiles. it took me almost 24 hrs to finish everything. i ended sleeping in 4 a.m. in the morning.

25/7/08...movie time...

we started off by watching movie named labyrinth. it was an interesting movie. but then i didn't manage 2 finish watching it cause i went 2 ask 4 some comments frm kelly n KY.
then...final project:

1. big model based on 1 of the big tesselation
2. 16 tiles

18/7/08...small...

after tesselation....guess wat...modeling time again...this time, we need 2 form 4 cube using satay stick & masking tape.

empty cube

then.. we project the tesselation into 3d form. we use Zo cards 2 make the 4th model

4th model

9/7/08 till 16/7/08...let's tesselate...

today we need 2 transfer our onthography drawing into tesselation. all u need 2 do is just by transfering it on grid.

then we take this 2 tesselation n rotate or mirror it 2 form other tesselation.

then we were 2 combine some of the tesselation 2 form 3 big tesselation. then design it with colour, patterns n tone

tone

patterns

7/7/08..perspective...

1st thing in class...lecture on 1 pt perspective. then, draw using plotting method 2 draw 1 pt perspective on A1 paper. this is when all the problems come. i've no idea how 2 do it. luckily...after tons n tons of drawing from kheng yong, i FINALLY got it. =)
