TUTORIAL
EXERCISES
Task:
Over the course of 4 weeks we had to complete 4 different exercises each week.
Exercise 1 - Geometric Expression
Exercise 2 - Tonal Values and Rendering
Exercise 3 - Architectural Lettering
Exercise 4 - Coloring Media and Scale
Exercise 1 - Geometric Expression
Using one of the six principles (AXIS, SYMMETRY, HIERARCHY, DATUM, REPETITION, RHYTHM), we had to creating an artwork with geometrical patterns on an A3 paper, relating to one of the six principles.
Exercise 2 - Tonal Values and Rendering
This exercise was to teach us how to render and hatch our drawings. So we had to draw 4 spheres then render them using 4 methods (HATCHING, CROSS HATCHING, STIPPLING, SCRIBBLING)
Exercise 3 - Architectural Lettering
We had to learn how to write in Architectural lettering which is the standard writing style for Architects - but of course with our own little differences as well. Therefore, this exercise required us to write the entire Malaysian national anthem, Negaraku, using Architectural lettering.
Exercise 4 - Coloring Media and Scale
This exercise required 2 different parts, teaching us 2 different things. First was to draw the layout of a floor plan in a 1:50 scale based on a pre-measured drawing given. All we had to do was convert those measurements into 1:50 scale and then draw it out. This was to teach us how to draw things to scale. Then we had to use a coloring media to render our floor plans and have the appropriate color combinations. I chose alcohol markers as my coloring media.
