Model Making

Model making presentation and Photography.

Presentation board

To the given floor plan of the artist studio, we had to make a model including its furniture and roof.
I love model making though it takes a lot of time and concentration. The main challenge when making the model was to create the staircase, as the rising of the stair case need to be exactly 150. If its not very accurate, the staircase would not level with the mezzanine floor. Another challenge was to create the glass railing, as the plastic does not stick very well with UHU glue. The model was made in such a way that the roof, ceiling and two exterior walls can be removed so that the interior of the space can be easily visible .It took me altogether three nights to make the model.

After the model was done we took pictures of the model in the science lab where we could change the light settings easily. We were suppose to take pictures of 11 elevation, 1 from top view and 3 Interior perspectives. These 5 photos need to be edited with human figure where possible  and compiled together to create a presentation board.

I got an A for this work and my comments include: "Nice photo composition", "lack of brief of project". I missed to write a brief of the artist studio which I totally forgot.

New Medium

orthographic projection

Presentation drawing

A presentation drawing had to be done for the orthographic projections of the Artist studio. We were suppose to include the floor plan and an Interior Elevation of the studio. The Drawings were traced into marker paper from our previous drawings and inked by free hand. We were taught a new method of drawing, I don't know the exact name of the method but I call it the "shaky hand method" :p by using this method it is very easy to control the lines and draw them straight.
after drawing we had to render the drawing with marker. I have never used marker and this was my first attempt.

Presentation drawing

Although marker pad is used for rendering with marker so that the markers don't bleed, it bled a lot for me. I had to redo it again and learned to control the marker. Although in this also there are few places that the marker has bled out of the lines. I received 7/10 for this work and the comments I received were: "Good techniques of sketches", "label the area in the plan" and "Improve the colour scheme"
