In Class Excercizes

The drawing workshop gave me a broader knowledge about drawing tools and techniques. These will be extremely useful for my architectural study in the future.
To draw the 1:1 cup section, elevation from top and side gives an introduction of architectural drawing to me. Although it looks simple, when start measuring, drawing, it is harder than what it looks. I think this task is quite different for sketching, architectural drawing need to present the shape of the object clearly, so I really emphasize the outline of the cup, especially for the section, just leave white on the cutting place. I love simple.

For the perspective drawing, I think there are so many things can be improved. The whole image is not strong enough, artline pen is much better than pencil to draw on tracing paper to suggest a focal point for this drawing. Anyway, my idea is let the Botta House become a diving board, so there is nothing connect the end of the bridge.

Another inclass excercize is shading the shadow of the elevation by given section and plan. This work suggest us create an 3D image in our brain, also inclue the sun. The shadows provide so many information about the depth of each part of the building.
