my models >_<

Replicated object
-Demonstration of precision and crafting skills, and accuracy of construction.
I just had lots of fun of making the watch! The hardest bit of this model is the tinny components need to be very precise, especially the shape of two sides, should consider 3D curves, fourtunately, it was done well. One part makes me feel so successed is the end of the strap which is movable like the real watch. It is because I put two pins in between and it really took some time to do. Also the button of the watch was made by hole-punch. The size is exactly 1:1, so lucky~~YYY


Sectional Grey Card Model at 1:50

-Demonstration of precision, crafting and construction skills. Effective communication of quality of architectural space through detail and scaled components.

This is the first time using TV board to construct model. So dont have enough confident of controling it. Especially the cutting and glueing, it only gives you one chance to cut a perfect line, otherwise it looks horrible as the card board can not be sanded, it will be fuzzy>_<` The use of glue should be careful, if the glue spill out on the black side of the cardboard will be very obvious.

Sectional Balsa Model
-Demonstration of precision, crafting and construction skills in translation of another student's grey card model into balsawood.
I feel so much different between cardboard and balsa. As seen by using both for each model, the balsa is much neat and all the edges are beautifully cut and sand. The most difficult part is making the roof, which includes squares, triangles, parallelograms, each angle need to be precise. Through this model, i also learn how to cut a smooth ractangle window, I always struggled before when i have not learn the skill.

Transformative Action Model
- Effective communication of 2 selected 'transformative action'; and 'operating' on balsawood model.
1) Ripping off 2)Attaching
-Demonstrated dexterity and modeling control of a range of materials.
-Quality of composition, aesthetics and scale of the applied 'action' to architectural space.

I used too action on my original balsa model: ripping off and attaching. I attached the skeleton of the building cause we didnt make skeleton before making the ourside. Then ripping off the skin, like ripping off the skin of a banana~ I visit some places where are constructing houses so as to have a basic image of the skeleton. In this model, I explore virous use of materials, some of them are new to me, such as different texture of card papers, steel sticks, woods which covered ourside of tables, wires, tissue which have nice images, grass, sand glue used as the motar and steel pieces look like the roof.

other artist's works

the skillful techniqe of using chachol. The soft dark, grey and light gave the depth of petals.


I love these two dawings which were created by virous tones of short thick lines. Very well presented the shadows and sunlight came through the leafs.

my individual drawings

These three drawings are my favourate. I used absolutely different techniques to do each one.

The first one is water colour, the middle one used chachol, looks very soft, follow by the pencil drawing.

drawings

The drawing of opera house is a very memorable experiment to me. I never do sketching for half of a day at public place, i realized the big change of the colour during a day, especially the contract between afternoon and night, my pen just can catch up the color changed. It seems a good memory is important.

In the drawing workshop, i leart the characteristic and techniques of using chachol, so fun to make hands dirty~and chachol makes drawing very strong, impresive, and quicker than using pencil. Although we all drawing the same object, the outcome is a big range of difference.
