Group Activity 1: (Human Posture) Motion In Space

Materials needed: 2 meter of butter paper, pencils, black and blue marker pen.

First of all , Ms. Shamila instruct us to measure 20 centimeter width on our butter paper using red pen to draw the line. After that, we paste it on the wall group by group.

Before we start this activity, there are several action for us to choose which are stumble, sit, watch, stride, charge and take-off. Our leader - Pujah choose stride as our action. Because we need two people to help out arrange the butter paper which already pasted on the wall by drawing the red line equally, so Pujah and Bryan help out of the butter paper, than Alia, Rahim and me are going out to create the action of stride.

We choose the staircase which beside Block E lift, than Rahim be our model, Alia be the camera girl and my job is do mesurement. First, Rahim walk up one step, than three step up to the staircase, after that he jumped down from the staircase. Alia took the photos and I doing measurement when Rahim was being a model.

After measurement and photos section, we went back to our studio and start to sketch it on our butter paper using scale of 1:1.

After finished sketching, we used blur marker to draw the furniture and black marker to draw the human. After drawing than we have finished our activity.

Reflection

After this activity, I have learned about measurement and the angle of taking photos is very important for doing this kind of activity. Besides that, our relationship between each other become closer and I am not afraid to communicate with each others anymore. It's a god activity of us especially we are still unfamiliar with each others and this is the chance for us to meet new friends.

Activity 1.2 - Process of making arch

Materials needed: modelling clay, blade, anything for force work

First of all, we brought those materials that we are going to use which are modelling clay and blade. Before we start, we go through the design of our arch, final decision of how to do the arch.

First, we used modelling clay to build the columns with minimum 3 inches of it, we rolled the clay first than only we cut it into several pieces. After that, we put all of it together then only we start to do the arch.

Actually at first, our decision is make the arch like a square but Ms. Sharon told us that it's was not an arch should be, so we changed our idea to a semi-circle arch. After we have done the arch, at last we created the keystone of the arch and put it on the middle of the arch.

After finished the arch, we test it many times from two phones to four phones than a bottle at last we test it with four phones with one bottle. Even though during the first time test until third time it was not really stable until we observed that the column of the arch is scale out than finally we knew the problems of the arch we fixed it by the way of make the arch shorter, closer basement, lower and finally it's SUCCESSFUL!

Reflection

After this activity, our relationship between each other become closer and we even can talk some jokes with each other, it's much more difference compare to the first day we met each other, we been grouped with each other's. It's a good and an interesting activity for us, I have learned the basic knowledge of creates an arch by how to balance it. It's really a great activity!

ACTIVITY 1 :

ARCH DESIGN DISCUSSION

This is the first activity of Construction and technology class, Ms.Sharon instruct us to discuss about design of arch in class with our group members. I am been group with Bryan, Jun Wei, Azmi and Rahim.

First of all, we discuss about what material can we use to do the column of arch, after that, we discuss about the shape of the arch either round, square, basket handle, ogee or others shape and should we put a dome on the top of the arch.

After discuss about the shapes and design of the arch, than we do the measurement of the arch and drew it out on a draft paper. Lastly, we decide to use square as our arch basic shape, than we are going to add a dome on the top of the arch.

During discussion, all of us suggest our own ideas and our leader Rahim, finalized our ideas and at last only we make the decision depends on the stable of arch and the weight that the arch can stand for. For example, when we are discussing about the measurement of the arch, we used 2.5cm for the width of the column and so on.

Reflection

For me, this discussion was enjoyable and interesting compare to others subject because during discussion we was like really need to build out an arch. I learned how should an arch been build to stand for the weight and a stability of a building. Look forward to the next activity that something relevant about design building in group.

[INTRO. TO DESIGN PROJECT] Assignment 1 : 12 Daily Routine

by YCheng Chan - 12:31:00 AM

ASSIGNMENT 1.1

12 DAILY ACTIVITIES

Materials needed:

A3 Cartridge Paper, Black Pen.

This is my 12 DAILY ACTIVITIES sketch drawing.

Which means what things that I almost do everyday. My 12 daily activities included driving, eating, climbing stairs, shopping, sleeping, playing musical instrument, watching movie, watering, washing dishes, playing volleyball, washing clothes and reading on bed.

First of all, I prepared a piece of A3 cartridge paper, than I used HB pencil to draw on it, after finished drawing all 12 activities, then only I sketch it using my black pen. Finished drawing, I used black pen to write out name of the activity beside of those pictures. After that, write my name and student ID behind of the cartridge paper.

Finally, It's done!

ASSIGNMENT 1.2

Materials needed:

A3 Cartridge Paper, Black Pen, 8cm*8cm black and white photo

After we had submitted our Assignment 1.1, here's come our assignment 1.2, which are randomly choose 3 activities that are included in your daily routines, draw 5 different poses about those activities.

Firstly, take photos of what am I going to draw, do all measurement before I start my assignment, after photos has been taken than I print out those photos with 8cm*8cm black and white photo, paste it on A3 cartridge paper, each photo each cartridge paper.

After pasting photos, wrote down all measurement of the furniture on a piece of paper using millimeter(mm) as unit for my drawing. Now going to sketch it out.

First draw an outline on draft paper, after that only I sketch it on my A3 cartridge paper using scale ruler 1:20 to draw my side view and plan view. After that, sketch out others 5 poses of the activities on the bottom part of the paper.

These was those 3 activities that I have choose which are reading, going upstairs and yoga.

Reading

Going upstairs

Yoga

Reflection

After finished my assignment 1, I learned how to use scale ruler with 1:20 to do my sketch drawing on my assignment. Besides that, on my assignment 1.1, I did not do it well because of the ratio of the people body and legs was not equal, but my tutor, Ms.Shamila told me what should I improve about my sketch drawing. So when I doing my assignment 1.2, I try my best to complete it but the conclusion I am not really satisfied about my drawing but at least I have try my best to do it well. Not only I learned how to use scale ruler, probably I know the ratio of drawing a people. Not so well but at least I have some improvement before I do this assignment.

Last, I hope that I will get improvement for myself on the next assignment and thanks to Ms.Shamila for teaching me what's going wrong and correct my mistakes.
