Assignment 3A: Pictorial

In this assignment, we are required to create a 3d model using 8 cubes based on the idea of rubix cube. After that we have to draw the plan, front view and side view of the model. So, shall we start?

According to the instructions, we are only allowed to make a model that consists of 2 rows and we can only move the cubes either up, down, left or right based on the standard rubix cube model. I have played rubix cube before, but if I want to produce a model that is related to construction industry, it may be a bit challenging. However, I will not just give up like this. =)
While I was still deciding what type of arrangement I shall use, I had started to form my cubes.

Cube's Production:

Step 1) Measure and draw the sides of squares

Step 2) Cut and colour

Step 3) Glue them together.
Step 4) Cover the edge with a layer of black masking tape
Step 5) 8 identical cubes are formed.

So, it is the time to do my model. For those who don't know what is a rubix cube, it actually looks like this.
A big cube formed by small cubes of 6 different colours. After trying some different arrangements, I have decided to have the following arrangement as my model.

Front view:

Bird's view/Plan:
Side view 1:


Side view 2:

For the plan drawing, it appears to be like this.

Assignment 2B: Natural Structure ( Space & Depth )

Talking about natural structure, most of us will think about flora and fauna. Many are not aware that the galaxy, the sun, the earth, the moon and even the microorganisms are part of the natural structure. Thus, I have chosen the mighty sun as my theme.

In this assignment, we are asked to colour the drawing to produce space and depth.

My "tools" of my assignment:-





A few paper strips and a circle with a star figure at the centre








I have used red, yellow and orange for the sun's colour. In the centre, I have drawn a small circle which is red in colour, enclosed in a star like figure, signifying the sun's core is covered by a layer of plasma. For the sun rays, I leave the centre part white as the brightest light is white in colour.
Some may be asking, why I did not use black or blue as my background? Well, the answer is simple. I feel that brown colour can blend better with the other colours and can enhance the effect of the sun rays.






And ta dah~~~
This is my Sun... =)
The closest star to our Mother Earth, which has been providing us warmth and light for millions of years..
