Architecture in Motion ( Reflection )

I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and learnt a lot about animation. Some of the things I gained knowledge in included: storyboarding, key framing, how to draw for animation and film editing. Even throughout this assignment was rather time consuming it was very enjoyable to create the work. I think this workshop will help me in my later studies such as studio when presenting my final designs.

Architecture in Motion (Film )

Architecture in Motion (Concept refined)

I want the film to documentation of my time in the red centre. The story will begin outside the FBE giving the audience an eye view of the buildings front exterior, later on it will zoom into the 6th level of the FBE. It will begin with a sense of happiness and excitement; this will be seen in the scene where the girl is spinning around and the sun in rising. This scenery will be in black and white to show represent my dream and the girl will spin around to show her carefree nature .Next she will be seen walking down the hall way with a lot of books and stuff .As she walks down the hallway the hallway will be coloured in to show that she is gaining experience of the environment . Towards the end of the film she will go down the stairs in the evening and it will go very dark to show it the end of the day and she is very tired. The last interior shot will be in the dark with the window outline in white. The film will end off with a zoom out of the back of FBE exterior. Therefore the film will basically be a visual representation of my personal experience , I get excited and enthusiastic in the beginning , during the day the work piles up and I get worried and at the end I’m usually tired and worn out, but I am, still hopeful that everything will work out.

Reflection on Arch:1142 Architectural Communications : Fluid thoughts and movements to actions

This workshop was a fairly challenging one. It had a lot of demand on me in terms of the mediums used, the type of work and time management.

We were introduced to different mediums, one of them was charcoal. By using charcoal I learnt how to sketch basic shapes of form and details with the charcoal, add dimension to work from dark to light, capture the 3D essence of still life with charcoal, set the drawing with a fixative and a lot more.

We also learnt a lot about watercolours. We learnt basic techniques of stretching, how to apply tones and the timing to apply layers. The tutors also guided to various brush work, tonal work, mixing tones, selecting good paper and a lot more.

I think this component of the course has helped my studies significantly; firstly it enabled to draw building and still life. It also gave me a lot more confidence and taught me ways of presenting my work. One of the the personal goal that I achieved during the course of this respective workshop is that I learnt to managed my time a lot better. Personally I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and the challenges that it presented.
