drawing workshop rotation 3

rose seidler house
I chose the Rose Seidler House for my final drawing because I like its form and the ramp that really catch my attention.

plans

section & elevations


final drawing
I put the drawings on the ramp and the 3D drawing at the back.

week 3: mock up
my final drawing is different from this mock up as I found that this layout is pretty boring, and I am more interested in the ramp.

week 3: rendering shadow + depth in elevation


week 2: Perspective drawing


week 1: Tea cup exercise


Reflective:
This workshop is very practical and I think the drawing skills I learned would be very useful for my future study. I know how to draw precisely and be careful not to smudge the drawings, what I should be careful when I render the drawings and how to place the drawings to make a nice layout.

fluid thoughts to action rotation 2


still life drawing




opera house



landscape drawing - out the window of level 6, red centre


imaginary place :

You are sitting on the ground. The ground is flat, and runs almost fifteen meters ahead, at which point it begins to step downward. You cannot see to the bottom of the stops, but if you walked to the edge you would notice that after about 2 levels of descending the steps stop and another setion of floor begins. This lower level of floor continues for roughly twenty meters until it meets a wall of glass windows. These windows reach all the way to the ceiling, nearly 4 levels. The ceiling then moves on a flat plan toward you until it is above you. There is almost four or five meters between you and the ceiling of you look up. Ignoring the wall of glass ahead, you are surrounded by windowless dark walls, all about ten meters away from you.


We drew this together at the beginning rather than drawing separately and put them together finally. We combined the view of the main walk and the glass walls on level 6.


collaborative drawings
Four people in my group. All of our drawings are pretty different. We were pretty lost and didn't know how to put all these drawings together at the beginning. Finally we changed the big tree trunk into a fixative and separate the landscape drawings and the drawings that mostly about curved lines.

Reflective:


This workshop is really fun and it's the first time I use charcoal to draw. From this workshop, I know how to draw in a more interesting and creative way. Sometimes the drawings are not easy to understand and I didn't know how to start the drawing, the tutors and my groupmates would like to share the ideas and suggestions, and can slove the problem finally.

material modelling rotation 1

Kitchen


model of the kitchen

view outside my kitchen

transformation of the kitchen
I made some curved lines instead of the big cabinets, so you can hang things on the curved lines which wouldn't block the view.


photo collage drawing


Reflective:

I have learned some basic crafting skills from this workshop. It's fun to create a space without any restrictions and it let me learn more about the use of materials, what we should be aware of when we do the model and could try to find out some problems of a space and change it into something better.
