Week 2
Design Communication
In the first class, Ms Norji has given us the briefing about the design communication. How the module will goes on and everything that make clear after the briefing. However, we started our short lecture about introduction to basic form. What is form? Form is either shape or figure internal structure, external outline, include a sense of three dimensional mass or volume. We were following the slides one by one to complete the exercise and understand the way to build form. I understood how was the cube to make a new form inside it shape. So, Ms Norji gave the visual diary task to draw the object that listed in the slides.
The exercise:
Form
3 shape + 3 form
Cube
Cube to Pyramid
Cube to Cylinder
Cube to Cylinder
Cube to Sphere
Cube to Cone
Visual Diary Task 1:
Cube
Cylinder
Cone
Sphere
Combination
Nevertheless, we have continued to the tonal values exercise. I feel so ashamed by myself about not listening before the four type of basic techniques tonal shading which is hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling and stippling. First, hatching is the repetition of parallel lines to create broad areas of tones. Next, cross-hatching would be adds another series of lines that cross the first set and creating even denser areas of tone. Then, scribbling involves drawing of random and multi-directional lines. Fourth, stippling is shading technique of very fine dots. From this exercise, I got the inspiration to draw the object with this four techniques and make my drawing become better than last time.
