Week 7: Light and Scale

At Home Studio Activities: 1: Iterative Model with an additional source of natural light at a new scale Model 1: Existing model from week 6  Applying the human figure in the room: I applied this human figure into the room room and took photos of it in different areas of the model to show the scale of the room. I used a bright coloured cardboard material to add colour into the space as well as make the figure stand out to emphasise the scale of the room. I took pictures of the figure in many different angles and from different positions to compare the size of the figure to the size of the model and the furniture within it. Applying light the model: I took photos using different lights to show many different aspects of my room. Firstly I put the light source within the room to show what the model looks light at night with lights within the model. Next I placed the model outside the different windows to show how the light affects the space. I noticed tha...

Week 5: Model Makes; Types of Models & Why We Use Them

At Home Studio Activities:  Activity 1: Creating a Model of My Home Space  This activity consisted of creating a 3D model of my space at home where I work, which is my bedroom. The activity required me to measure my room so that I can create my space at a 1:10 scale. I then drew a plan of my space on paper including little tabs to allow me to fold and stick the walls together. After I finished the plan, I cut it out using the tools in my tool kit shown below and folded the paper plan and stuck it together. After I did a paper plan of my room, I did the exact same model but with cardboard material from my home, requiring me to use other tools from my kit also shown below in order to make the model.  Photos of the Space I was working with: Photo of my drawn plan: Tools used: Plan cut out: Finished Product: Tools used to make cardboard model: Finished product of cardboard model: Comparison of both materia...

Week 6: Getting Feedback and Improving my Models

Image
Teams Tutorials: This weeks work consisted of a tutorial on Microsoft Teams with my tutor to show her my models and talk about my progress. This tutorial gave me an opportunity to get feedback about my models as well as compare my model with other classmates. At the end of the tutorial, I then used the feedback from Danielah to improve my model.  "Your next step is to improve, add and change elements of your room to make it the ideal room. Be as creative as you want when you do this. You will use the folding and model making techniques that you have learnt in order to alter the elements of your room"  From receiving this feedback, I decided to take the tips I got from the "folding techniques" videos to create my ceiling within my 'ideal room'. I took my inspiration specifically from the "dividing the paper" tutorial (video 1) to create my ceiling. I then also expanded on my model to create an outside area of my room as well as stairs. ...
