Final assignment of y1s1: Habitat of an animal (Individual assignment)
Duration: 4 weeks
Aim: To observe the characteristic of animals and tranform them into a sculpture/model/building/habitat.
Things to done: 5 mock up models, 3 presentation boards, 6 drawings, 1 pure white final model, 1 colour model.
Submission and presentation: 13/4/2012
This is the final assignment, carries more marks, and we feel more tension about this. We started this project while we were working hard on floating membrane. Yea, we were doing 2 projects at the same time since floating membrane was just a group work.
Right before we started this assignment, lecturer assigned us with different animals and we went for a visit to national zoo. We observed the animals for both group work ( floating membrane) and individual work ( animal habitat) at the same moment.
Date:4/3 if not mistaken. Yea, I went to zoo to observe froggy and camel. =)
And then, we submitted a report via presentation board to show our understanding about the animals. OH YA, I got the CAMEL. *if u have observed well, everyone of us chose our own animal for certain reasons, usually they suit ur own personality, interests or what.* I chose camel from my sixth sense.
My own presentation board. Using architectural lettering. With all characteristics, image, forms.
Time spent: 7-8 hours.
That was what we had done for the first week. For the second and third week, we did study models and amendment/refinement. Within 2 weeks, I did 5 study models. It was a hard moment to go. We did our model within 2 days( Monday submit 1, Wednesday submit 1, and Friday another 1). We got different kind of presentation, got feedback from 2 different lecturers and kept doing amendment.
Seriously. by this time, our speed of doing mock up models were getting faster. As we started to figure out that, for study models, craftmenship need not to be cared so much, and art block papers are much easier to do. Usually 3-4 hours can create 1 study model.
ps: sorry for not uploading pic of mock up models, as copyright reserved! Use your eyemind!!! ;P
When we were doing habitat assignment, we were also engaged in making studio drawing I model.
During the last week, it was the moment to rush!!! *yet I still hang out with xueji and 38 gangs* teehee.
Me with my all works. Can u see can u see?!
5 mock up in the box, 3 presentation boards (behind, middle white punya, board on table), 1 colour model and 1 white model. Last minute works no-no for me. I usually get very crazzied when doing last minute works.
This is my presentation board for my model. Progress shown, if u can c it clearly.
With axonometric drawings, plan drawing, white model been fixed on it. I chose the conservative way to present.
Not daring enough.
My drawingss. This was a last minute pasting job. Ended up with wrinkles.
Then I rephotocopied while Waiseng borrowed me his car key to go out.
OMGG I DROVE HIS CAR OUT WITHOUT HIS SUPERVISING!
Thanks Ningwei for accompany lar.
Our presentation was quite a serious thing. A lecturer from TARC went and assessed us. 20 of us were divided into 3 groups according to alphabetic order. So Onn, Shirly, KhaiMing, Me, Lucky, ZuoYinn and Waiseng in a group, under our own lecturer Mr Leong. Mr Leong was very strict, he asked tough questions to all of us. Since he brought us up, he knew our strength and weaknesses, he demanded higher and I knew it.
My presentation went smoothly. Thanks everyone for giving positive comments. =)
14 of us taking pictures with another lecturer Puan Ros. She is a very kind lecturer. :)
Everyone of us had dark circles haha.
We girls playing with ZuoYinn's outfit for his bunny habitat presentation! HAHA!
