WEEK 1
/ SELECT ITEM OF CHOICE TO IMPLEMENT IN THIS PROJECT
- to be able to fit in an A4 size paper; < (15 x 15 x 15cm)
My item of choice was the Golden Chrome Plate Sydney Opera House Model. I was amazed both by its architecture and its details in the facade ever since I saw its photos online.
It was rather sad that I never had the chance to visit it physically yet, so might as well draw it out technically at this perfect platform of assignment.
WEEK 2
/ TAKE PLAN AND ELEVATION SNAPSHOTS TO SHOW CASE THE ITEM SLECTED AND FURHTER OBTAIN CONFIRMATION FROM TUTOR
/ DRAFT OUT TITLE BLOCK
- to include all the information required accordingly to guidelines provided in brief
Snapshots of this model was presented in class and further obtained confirmation from our tutor to proceed with drawings.
This model showcased adequate amount of designs and details to a stage whereby it would not be too easy to draw. It required certain amount of understanding towards the architecture of it as well as handling of the proper tools; french Curve.

REVIEW
This assignment was indeed a rewarding kickstart for this module. As a student who came up with artistical drawings experiences, drawing technically which required more senses and logic was indeed a challenger for me. Anyhow, with the help of both tutor and peers, I was able to push through and hand in a set of drawing which marked the rubrics accordingly. I picked up lots of skill and polished my accuracy in both lines and hatchings. It occurred to me that every line and dot in technical drawings would be set to deliver one or even more information, as so every component should be drawn accurately with the correct convention.
I received final feedbacks from my tutor few days before submission, ensuring that I've fulfilled every task stated and completed my drawings with in a proper and well manner.
