Project Brief:

In a group, we were first assigned with a fruit, then we are required to draw the fruit using different types of pencil. Our fruit is starfruit.

According to the brief, we need to draw out :

1. Top view (NTS)

2. 2 elevation drawings (NTS)

3. 2 sectional drawing (NTS)

Reflection: 

Through this assignment, I have learned how to use the line weight and also how to render fruits using different pencils. This assignment taught me how to work as a team and act spontaneously as well.

Project Brief:

In the same group, we are required to pick a furniture in the campus and draw it out using orthographic drawing. We picked a chair which is located in the library.

According to the brief, we need to draw out :

1. Top view

2. 3 elevation drawings

3. Sectional drawing

Reflection: 

From this assignment, I first encountered with orthographic drawing. It is something new for me and all of the students as well, I did learn on how to use different line weight to indicate the details of the drawings. Besides that, I have also learned on how to draw the details inside of a furniture.

Assignment 2: Drawing Basic Space

Project Brief:

Individually, we were given a space in our campus. We are required to draw out the space using orthographic drawing. The space that is given to me is Block C, level 8. 

According to the brief, we need to include :

1. Floor Plan (Scale 1:30)

2. 2 elevation drawings (Scale 1:30)

3. Sectional drawing (Scale 1:30)

4. Assessment Sheet 

5. Progression drawing (Compile & put in folder)

Reflection: 

In this assignment, I have learned how to observe and measure an open space and convert it into drawings which are in scale 1:30. Besides that, I have also learned how to use different thickness of line weight and also a few architectural symbols to indicate the details inside my drawings.
