Project 6- Analysis of HBP spaces( Composition)

I think I have got used to the RUS 104 project work and I felt excited when I got the assignment because the studio master did not set a lot of formats and guides on the project. Hence, I can use my own way and ideas to translate the information or words into attractive graphic communication. 


Besides, HBP lecturers were caring and helpful. I recall that I went to HBP resource centre after the tutorial. At the minute I stepped into the centre, I saw Dr. Mazlan and Dr. Azree were there and ready to give a helping hand to us. They provided us the keyplan,location plan and site plan. Furthermore, we were taught on how to get useful information from the web and the correct ways to compose and colour the site analysis. Moreover, Dr.Mazlan even lent me his graphic design book to us for our reference. I felt grateful that the HBP lecturers are kind and caring.

I started my work on the first day because I thought the better the earlier. So that I can have time for myself to enjoy my favourite activities like playing basketball and reading. However, it's quite tough for this week because we all have to prepare for the examination of environmental science as well.

I tried to sketch colour my first draft and I found my water colour colouring skill is awful. Therefore, I changed my strategic and bought a new set of watercolour pencils to assist me in the colouring.

Haiz. My water colouring skill is BAD!!! T.T

The aim of my site analysis is to provide information to prospective students who are going to study at HBP of USM. The site analysis provide information of the location  and climatic data of HBP, University Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang. Next, the introduction of HBP and history of USM are provided so that the students can understand and know more. Lastly and most importantly, the study pathway of school of HBP is also provided in flow chart so that the students know the flow of study from the pre-U level to Ph.D level. In that case, They may know and plan their study pathway well for their bright future.

In terms of colouring, I left a large space of white space in order to attract people's attention. Besides, I used a lots of bright and harmony colour so that the site analysis is pleasing and comfortable to people's eyes. 

After colouring. My work is completely done!!!

Thanks to the reference from the graphic books, I faced little problems in the composing of the site analysis and I completed the project quite early. I completed it on last Saturday.


I am happy that I have put all my efforts in the project. I am looking forward for the next project and I think I can form a great team with my new teamates. I would like to thank all the lecturers for their hard work.


Thanks.

Project 5- The Mask( Speculative)

Hi. I am going to introduce and give some detailed information on the process of making the mask and the feeling of my mask.


This weekends were tough for HBP students because we had to take part in the orientation week and complete the project 5 brilliantly at the same time. My room mate was not a HBP student. Hence, I teamed up with a few good friends who are from RESTU. I have walked from Fajar Harapan to Restu for the past two nights for the sake of the project 5.


I and my teammates went to Tesco to buy some materials like tissue papers, A4 paper, flour and colour. We did not use white glue. Instead we used a more eco-friendly method that we made our own glue by mixing "tepung ubi kayu" with hot water.


It was a great fun working with the teammates. At first, we gathered lots of information on the process of making a good paper mache mask. Then, we started doing "facial treatment" for our friends when we stared putting on tissue on friends's faces and started glueing them. Haha. The A4 paper were torn into smaller pieces then we glue the mask for several layers of papers so that the mask will not collapse.

 I was anxiously waiting for my "facial treatment". Haha

 Haha. Mine is done finally. Victory!

Next, I had to figure out what I was going to paint on the mask to show its feeling and make it look more attractive. I surfed the internet and hear the heed from my friends. Finally, I decided to make a mask that looks happy and calm because I am always positive. 


I DECIDED TO MAKE A MASK THAT LOOK CONTENDED AND RELAXED WHEN ENTERING A HAPPY SPACE LIKE ENTERING A WELL-ORGANISED AND DECORATED MASK PARTY .


I sketched the masquerade mask pattern on my mask before painting. I chose red and yellow colour as my major colours because red symbolises energy and passion whereas yellow represents warmth and happiness.

Completed and Nice

In addition, the project 5 has also inproved the relationship between me and my friends. It requires us to work in a team and help each other. Moreover, we also went for supper or a short break when we are tired of doing the project.

Yummy. My supper with friends.

To conclude, it was a fun project where I have learned a lot from lecturer and friends like the ways to identify and draw the facial expressions that shows different feelings . At the same time it has also improve the interaction of the students because I met and knew new friends.


Thanks.

Project 4B- Paraline

Project 4B requires me to draw the front, back, left and right 
elevations for the previous sculpture that I built. Besides, I 
had to produce a axonometric  drawing for the sculpture. The difference between axonometric drawing and perspective is that the projection of axonometric drawing must be parallel and it shows the exact shape and dimension of the building with appropriate scale.


The objective of the project is to equip students the documentation skills that used to keep and prepare the schematic design, plan, specifications and etc. I learned a lot by attending tutorial and getting the advise from my schoolmates.

We will be having orientation week for the next three days. I hope that the next assignments given tomorrow is not very tough. Or perhaps the lecturer will be giving us more time to finish the assignments.

Thanks.

Project 4A- Sculpture (Multiview)

Hi.

Last week has been quite a tough week for me because I had to rush to finish my sculpture.I recalled that I have got my idea from observing. I went to watch the show organised by "Kung 

Fu club" which was meant to attract and recruit new members.I got the idea of building a sculpture with the concept of chinese fan when I was seeing the chinese dance 

show. I realised that the pattern of the chinese fan is unique and attractive. Besides, I can fulfill the theme of sustainability from the aspect of culture. I did not want to do the project from the aspect of environment because I wanted to be different and I was trying to think out of the box.
Moreover, my wallet has been bleeding since I entered HBP. Haha.

The name of the sculpture means: " Wisma Kebudayaan Tiong Hua"

The sculpture was designed based on the concept and pattern of a Chinese fan. Besides that, the sculpture is painted in red colour because Chinese people believe that red colour brings 
prosperity and good luck to them. The name of the sculpture in Malay is “Wisma Kebudayaan Chung Hua”

The pattern of Chinese fan can be seen from the top. It is used as a building to sustain the culture and identity of the Chinese. It consists of four main theatres which are used for the cultural performances and show. Furthermore, it has twelve spacious rooms used as administrative offices and practice rooms for various cultural activities like lion dance, Wushu ,drama, singing, orchestral band and etc. Moreover, the building was also integrated with the Photovoltaic cell system which is used to generate electricity for the building.

To conclude, the sculpture can be built as an environmental-friendly building which is meant to 
sustain the Chinese culture and the environment. 




Thanks.

Project 3B: The CUbe (Perspective)

I was given the weekend assignment on Friday and suprisingly I managed to finish it on Saturday's late night. Perhaps the lecturer intended to give us a break after the tiring and time-consuming project 3A. I appreciate that.

I would like to share the experience of completing the task. I need to thank my frinds like Mun, Neo and so on who have given me lots of useful and constructive advice. Besides that, the notes given by the lecturer was a great help and guide to me.

I did some preliminary practice before starting my drawing.

After completing the drawing, it's time to start colouring. I actually intended to do shading by using poster colour and Samantha had taught me some techniques on colouring shadow. I tried but it doesn't look good. Perhaps I'll do it next time.

Here is my work:

Last but not least, I actually felt happy while doing the project because I learned a lot on drawing and design of the built environment. I start to observe the buildings around me and start to appreciate USM has a well- designed and well apointed buildings and built environment. Moreover, I have had a great time with my schoolmates while doing the project.

Thanks.
