Task D: Drawing Book

Meraki (v.) to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work.

46

With the first semester coming to an end, and after the completion of pre-

vious drawing assignments, I have come to the realization that architecture is indeed a major that requires much more than technical skills in order to produce a successful body of work - it requires passion.

The word, Meraki is the reflection of the passion and love that I have

instilled into every finest detail of every drawing tasks within the ARC1301 unit. This passion has allowed me to express myself, my upbringing, and my view, in combination with the skills I have accumulated so far throughout each tutorials.

There is a part of me to be found within each and every part of this Drawing

Book, as well as each tasks that it holds.

47

Task D: Drawing Book Personally, Drawing B was a mixture of acquiring both technical skills while also having fun with the model making task. The mixture of concrete grey and vibrant colours are used to represent this mixture of play-fullness, creativity, and seriousness.

Personally, I often associate process work with gridded paper, as it allows me to have a feeling of a dairy , work in progress, or something that is not in its final form.

Ta s k A 3 : Precedents

Kandinsky, Hard in Soft, 1927, Oil on canvas, 39cm x 19cm

Kandinsky’s use of lines and abstract forms to evoke a sense of transcendental expression and abruptness is the main inspiration behind the composition of my collages. Through the use of vertical lines , and diagonal shapes, I am able to convey a sense of dynamism and implied movement within the collage.

52

Phanuphan Wirawaphusit, A Day Magazine, 2016, Digital Collage

Inspired by this work by Wirawaphusit, my collages are a combination of aspects from traditional Cambodian art with the European, and the contemporary. Through this fusion, I am able to express myself and my view of art, as I come from a Cambodian background who grew up in a very diverse international school.

Ta s k B 2 : Correction After Feedback

Before Feedback

After Feedback

Within the final sectional drawing, I decided to make the ground line darker and more distinct, in response to the comment from Hanah regarding the line being too thin and unhelpful in informing where the ground is cut at.

In addition, through the use of Rhino, I was able to draw a more accurate and clean sectional and plan drawing, along with refinement of small details such as the dashed lines and tilted side-walls.

56

In response to the feedback regarding how the source of lighting should not be visible within the photograph, I made sure than within the revised collection of photos, no source of light is shown.

In addition, the photographs were taken much closer to the model, allowing the model to look less like an object, but rather, more like an architectural space.

Before Feedback

After Feedback

In response to the feedback, instead of photographing the models from one angle, the revised photographs consists of pictures of the model from multiple angles, allowing for the better understanding of the structure.

1. Medicinal Packaging

2. Instructional Drawings for Kids

Akkshit Khattar, Medicine Tablets, 2018

3. DIY Kit

Image Source: How to Draw a Peacock Instructions Sheet, Sparkle Box www.sparklebox.co.uk

The capsule making kit is inspired by these three distinctive types of designs and packaging. I am inspired by the use of bold colours in Akkshit Medicinal Tablets packaging, I utilized the simplicity of drawing instruction, making it easy-to-understand for my targeted customer. The DIY Kit inspired the way the packaging is laid out, as it is intuitive and provides a clear understanding of each components of the kit.

Story of Work What makes Hazel Zhang’s Portfolio special is the story that flows consistently throughout her body of work. I believe that this story not only allowed her to express herself and her work but also ties in all the disparate projects she had done throughout the portfolio into one cohesive structure.

I am inspired by the use a story to create a cohesive and rich portfolio, and I attempt to do this with the concept of using the Greek word, “Meraki” as I find that it represents my the approach of my work well.

68

Precedents/Research

Muted Theme Colour w/ Vibrant Accent Colour I am inspired by Alessandro’s technique of using muted grey colour to complement the reoccurring pop of vibrant colour that sprinkles throughout the portfolio. I am convicted that this technique provides hierarchy and focus towards the information that she wants to convey.

Colour Coding The use of different colours for distinctive sections within the portfolio allows the viewers to have an understanding of the overarching structure both, before and while reading.

I have adapted this technique of colour coding and used coloured textures instead, as I believe that it adds more richness and correlates better with my body of work.
