PROJECT 1: Models and Tattoos: Expression through Design Elements
and Principles
Taylors Graduate Capabilities
For this assignment, we were asked to design 6 models following with it's tattoo stamps based on the 5 elements- Materials, Line, Shape, Mass and Space. Along with the 16 Principles- Balance, Connection, Contrast, Emphasis, Form, Groping, Imagery, Meaning, Symbolism, Pattern, Placement, Proportion, Rhythm, Scale, Unity and Variety. These models were to have a dimension of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm. At the end of this assignment we had a verbal presentation to relate our ideas and concepts towards our assigned lecturer.

TASKS
Design Elements and Principles are all around us. It is a necessary process needed in design where every art student should know of. This process is the start of every design we have today.
INTRODUCTION
FINAL OUTCOME
PROJECT 1: (Integration with Architecture History and Theory)
On-Site Sketching, Tonal Values and Presentation
INTRODUCTION
To fully understand the concept of drawing on site as well as learning the different types of rendering to show materials, shadow, lighting and etc. To be able to start and enter the free-hand drawing process for the present and future which is necessary in architecture.
TASKS
We are asked to go on site of our 5 chosen buildings and to free-handedly drawn them. Where we were to draw the exterior of the buildings and apply the 4 rendering techniques to the buildings. Those rendering techniques were stippling, one-directional hatching, two-directional hatching and lastly scribbling. We were to draw these buildings in an A4 sketchbook. What we had to look out for when drawing these buildings are the scale and proportion, details, textures and etc.
FINAL OUTCOME
REFLECTION & TGC's
From this assignment, my thinking and problem solving skills has improved greatly as I had to figure out how I was going to show the material, shadows and light through the different rendering techniques. Besides that, I believe my communicating skills has improved when conversing with the locals on site.
