Dog House I

Dog House I- Week 1

Reflection Strengths : -­‐ Created and designed my first Dog House with certain measures and put two figures as measure -­‐ Successfully created hexagon and half circle shaped windows.

-­‐ Tried to build stairs and base for the bottom part of the house Two Point Perspective

Weaknesses : -­‐ Too less for designing the walls and other part of the house -­‐ Size and shape of the house it is too mainstream

Left Standard Perspective

Standard Perspective Front

Opportunities : -­‐ I should learn more about new ways and tricks to make simple thing faster -­‐ Redo the stairs with the right ways to do it

Standard Perspective Back

Risk : -­‐ Slept around 1 am to recheck the measure and that also the time when all my ideas came out. Almost slept in my Economic class -­‐ Borrowed my Father’s mouse to do this

Cubes in Space – Week 1

Plan View

Reflections: Strengths: ● Successfully created array of cubes with additional design. Transformed into component and replicate multiple times. ● Placed 2D designed figures on particular spot. Turned the shadow on and took zoomed 2D graphic from different perspectives.

Challenges: ● Created an array which as the array goes up the numbers of the cubes decreased. ● Placing the figures on hollowed top of the cubes.

Elevation

How do I do better next time?

• Move the figures parallel with blue lines, green lines and red lines.

• Make different component on an array, so it could have different design.

• Creating a pyramid array.

Crazy Cube Arrays in Space

Reflections Strengths • Successfully create cube ,transformed into a component and replicated multiple times to create this complex array • Zoomed into array, turned my shadows on and place several human figures for scale to create a dramatic shot.

Challenges : • I need to learn how to use rapid visualization technique to hand draw something similar to what I produced in SketchUp

Free Hand Drawing

Rapid Visualization

Reflection Strength : ✓Draw multiple lines from different points focused on two point and one point ✓Created cubes in space by free hand drawing

✓Created cubes developed into cylinder, cone and different shapes from a cube two point

✓Created cubes hollowed in specific part

Challenges and Threats : oDrawing circle into ball oHairy lines on the main structure oDecide to bold the main line oDrawing too small size shape oForgot to get off at the right bus stop when drawing in Muni Bus

Opportunities : ◇Draw straight lines more frequently, so it wont become hairy ◇Draw circles and spiral more frequently ◇Consider the angle ◇look closely and correctly before bolding a line ◇create shade to make strong effect of the hollowed part

Rotate, Stairs and Follow me tool – Week 2

Strengths :

-­‐ Successful at trying out new ways to do SketchUp; Rotate, build stairs, and using follow me tool.

-­‐ Made the stairs into component so it will be easier to move around -­‐ Experimented using various colors to make it more catchy

Weakness : > Still inaccurate when rotating >Still have hard time to arrange position for component

Opprtunities : -­‐ Find out more about coloring the shape created with follow me tool without coloring per surface between lines -­‐ Practice more to adjust components

Risk : > Having too much fun with the tools, lost when listening to Jerry > Had to ask him and slowing everyone down

Floor Patterns, Layers and Scenes – Week 3

Reflections Strengths : -­‐ Created opened front wall house, transformed into component and copied five times with certain distance.

-­‐ Learned how to make scenes, layers and arrange the hidden and the appearance of a structure Two Point Perspectives-­‐ Front -­‐ Successfully created animation with 23 scenes about different perspectives for each house -­‐ Successfully created six different floor patterns with various tools – rotate, move, rectangle, line, scale, measure and protractor.

-­‐ Added style and fog for the background to make it more interesting Two Point Perspective-­‐ ISO

Batik Flower Pattern

Blue Diamond Pies Pattern

Challenges : o Decide good point of view to make scenes for the animation o Brainstorm the ideas for 4 different floor patterns o Erase small lines outside and inside the design o Arranging the best time for scene transitions and delay

Dizzy Water Pattern

Black Yellow Wood Pin Pattern

How do I do better next time ? ✓ Freehand sketch more to brainstorm ideas ✓ Practice to take better 2D graphic from different perspective ✓ Recheck thoroughly each scene transitions before finishing the animation to see if it is good

Piazza Campidoglio Inspired Plaza – Week 4

Reflection Strengths : ◇ Successfully recreated the Piazza Campidoglio with addition of statue figure and human figures for scale to create dramatic shot ◇ Successfully created a shape, replicate multiple times and turned into a design ◇ Created stairs, turned the shadow on, put brick and stone paint for the floor and the stairs, and changed the background ◇ Made it into animation with several scenes

Challenge : -­‐ Erase the lines especially the small ones -­‐ Create the star shape in the middle, the line has to be from end point to end point -­‐ Create the stairs without hollow part on the top -­‐ Create a perfect offset for outside part of the circle

How do I do better next time?

• Practice using offset tool for different shapes and space • Be more careful drawing line from point to point

My Own Designed Museum Floor – Week 4

Inspired Building – Week 5

Wall Study - Week 6

Reflection Strengths -­‐successfully created 3 different designed walls and 2 intersected face created different shapes using follow me tool, intersected with other shape and made it into my unique and interesting -­‐Created doors and windows with intersecting them Turned on shadow and took dramatic 2D graphic

Challenges and Threats • Using the rotate tool to the intersected shapes •Collaborate two shapes into one shape. Moving the right point from one to another point •Drawing shape and create window on the curve side •Scale shape that already intersect with other shape •Brainstorming for ideas at midnight Opportunities •Put every shape into different layer, so that it will be easier to rotate, scale, move it, and color it •Consider the sides and shape inside a shape •Turn on x-­‐ray mode more often to see what is inside

Poet’s Wall - Week 7

Reflections

Strengths •

Successfully created six different wall types with different purposes

•

Intersected opening with the model created dramatic effects for the shadows

•

Explored different styles and turned on shadows

•

Took dramatic shots from different angles

Weakness and Opportunities • Developing ideas for creating different walls • Carefully using move tool and remembering the length • Create a precise measurement for a seat • Take a dramatic shoot for portfolio • Boost my creativity using freehand drawing

Threat • Went to different places to explore, brainstorm and find some ideas and inspirations to come up with six different types of walls • Fell asleep on my desk
