Workshop 1 - Week 1 - Teacup


The tea cups were a very hard challenge due to the curvilinear form. I am a person who loves to draws with a ruler so this was a large step outside my comfort zone. I set up the page by spacing it evenly using guidelines. I then had to draw each line about 10 times before I was happy enough to rub out the others.

The shading for this was a hard concept. I previously have had limited experience with shading, so I wanted to experiment with many different techniques on this as a test. The first thing I tried was just the sketchy quality of lines. I did not like this as the teacup is a smooth form, so I decided that I should try smudging it to give the lines more ‘smoothness’ in a sense. After doing that on my plan this I was so happy with it that I decided to shade my whole drawing in that form.

Workshop 4 - Week 3 presentation

This was the Fisher House by Louis Kahn. We created this at 1:200. I decided to create the landscape with different elements to the house, so that the house stood out from the landscape. This separation creates a great visual effect.

Workshop 4 - Week 2

This task was to use the section provided and create three houses out of the section. they were meant to be quick process models, each taking maximum half hour to create.


This is the final task for the day which was to make one presentation model within and hour. It was to incorporate many aspects of the previous designs, whist creating rooms. I combined my First model and my last model, to create this.
