Beautiful



This is one of my many artworks utilising the graphical program Photshop CS3. During my Architectural Technology Advanced Diploma course, we had to produce a title page for our final architectural design sudmission. My concept was based on the word "imagine".

My ElectroLiquid Aggregation
"Because of the fact that color and materials have a physical
effect on us and on how we feel, it is important to adapt with relevant intelligence within the changing environment around us".

Animation 1

SketchUp - Final Developed Model




With Custom Textures

In this developed model 2, I have re-designed my model so that the four(4) surrounding walls are closed with an opening which I have called "the gap of light" shines through, spreads and reflects throughout the interior space.

Therefore when a person enters into the building, he/she are amazed by the height of the interior space and there attention is immediately turned to the gap of light. This creates a different environment by having to be suprised by the vloume of the space and the single light source which fills the space is but from a single gap.

Selected notebook Section 2

DIRECTION





UPRIGHT

Sir Sidney Nolan "The Slip"


The slip by Nolan was made using Ripolin enamel on a hardboard 90.7 x 121.1 cm. The painting is dark and gloomy yet it tells a story. The gully is shown to be dark and steep. Thus we see a horse slipping off the gully. Nolan used expressive brush stokes rather than smooth and fine brush techniques. As was his style not to paint realistically, he layered his different colours over each other revaeling the depth of the matter or element(s). As shown in the gully, it has been painted yet very roughly indicated that perhaps with a gully like this one, it is quite hard to trot on.

The colours are dark and gloomy. Even the sky is not vibrant putting the viewer in a gloomy environment.

Ricky Swallow "Clockman"


The sculpture is made of plastruct, plastic and Letraset. These materials are united together to create yet again another strange artwork by Swallow. I imagine that the feet, which are made up of plastic, would have been moulded first then body. The body is a square made up of plastruct. A simple yet defining image of a torso represented in a much simplier way. I think Swallow derived this simplicity of the torso being a square from Villard De Honnecourt who always observed simplifying nature in general. The numbers on the clock are made of letraset. The colours are mainly white apart from the numbers on the clock.

YouTube Video

This YouTube video relates well to my final developed design because of the fact the superstructure in my model represents a slip and a fall. As illustrated in SketchUp, the roof is seen to be flat then steeply falling downwards onto the gallery space.

I wanted to show what the feeling and the after effects of a person if he/she were to engage themselves in looking over the edge of a roof. I have shown this activity of falling from a roof derived from my model in one of my animations.

SketchUp - Model 2




Above are the first conceptual works of the selected section 2 from my notebook. They illustrate the 2 dimensional notebook section as a 3D model.

We can see in these perspectives the use of materials (by SketchUp)
in the model above such as:
  1. Concrete
  2. Glass
  3. Timber
