Observation Journal - Task 3

This week, our task was to go for a site visit and explore different type of furniture and sketch it out in our journal. We need 3 furniture, which are chair, table and cabinet. We were told that all of the chosen furniture need to be loose materials, which mean all my chosen furniture need to all different materials. For my site visit, I went to IKEA Damansara.

These are my sketches

Reflection:

I realize there is so much type of materials and finishes I didn't know before after a trip to the site visit. It was a great experience in exploring and gaining new knowledge about it. I had fun and I enjoy seeing different types of design and the materials they used. 

Observation Journal - Task 2

On week 2, we were taught to write a specification for our furniture in the sketches we do. Specification is detailed description of the design and materials been used for that particular furniture. For example, the measurement, materials, for which part and lastly its finishing/furnishing used. This is to make it easier for other people, such as the manufacture, to understand. 

For the weekly task, we were given 3 images and we will need to sketch it out, minimum of 2 sketches and 2 specification per image given. Here are my sketches;

Reflection:

I had difficulties on writing the specification at first try. It was new to me and I become so confused. However, as I practice and study more about it, I've started to get a hang of it in the end. However, there is still much for me to learn and I will try my best to polish up my specification writing skills in the nearest future. 

Observation Journal - Drafting Table

On the first week of sem 3, we were told that for semester 3 Detailing and Working Drawing class will need a journal to do our daily task that will be given to us every week, For this week, we were given a task to draw a drafting table. However, since the lecturers have not teach us how to draw it properly yet, this first task is a test to see how we, students, are able understand the basic for this class fully or not. Since the task is drafting table, we have a tons of it in our classroom studio, here are some photo I took;

My sketches for this task:

This is my front cover I drew for the journal:

Reflection:

In this class, we are not required to use any ruler for our drawing. We are only allow to use artline pens such as 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 tips. It was very hard to keep a steady line while drawing and I keep on having crooked lines a lot of times. I'm hoping in the nearest future, I will be able to improve my drawing in this class in terms of lineweight and the quality of my straight line.
