Fluid Thoughts


I chose the extruded window of Sydney Museum, because it is a unique feature of this architecture which attracts people's eyes.

This image was drawn by charcoal and watercolor. Why I use these two different materials is because it can be an obvious comparison between charcoal and watercolor.

This drawing that I tried to do it better, but it is the first time I use watercolor to draw a building, so it still needs to be improved.

This drawing is about the interior space in my home, which is a corridor to a door. On the left side, there is a handrail of stairs to go downstairs.

This one is five different views of internal space in my home.

There is a bottle of water and a watercolor pen on the table.

A bag on the table

This one was done in the class, which is a good start on watercolor drawing.

Draw an object, but in different views.



Our workshop classroom
We are asked to draw the space of this classroom, and redraw it on the top of the previous drawing.

What I thought this image is about the movement. All the people are going the same direction with the same speed, and some go across the crowd.

Storyboard

The key word I want to express the space element is extensibility. My animation is trying to focus on the extensibility of the Level 6 in red centre. Level 6 is a collection of studios, which is used to work together for students and teachers, so all the rooms are free to get into another room. When we go through the studios to the end of the corridor, the space is suddenly expanded, because it is a big area to go down to Level 5.

It's a story about a boy walking through the Level 6. He just wandered in the studios, but he kept walking until he got to the end of the studios, suddenly he found there is a large space in Level 6, because it can lead to Level 5. Then, he went downstairs to see how himself enjoyed this space.

Electroliquid Aggregation

"If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied."
"sometimes the obvious is elusive."

Alfred Nobel VS Keith Campbell

Electroliquid Aggregation: Sometimes the obvious is elusive, so even if I have a thousand ideas, it may be only one that turns out to be good which will satisfy me.

The black box

The disconnected shadow

From Lecture 7, the slide of the disconnected shadow shows the continuous repetition of rectangle. Also, it can be seen that this kind of repetition appeared very often in reality. The shadows are disconnected, because every block is seperated in a particular form and they will not combine with another one. Therefore, the shadow will be very clear and obvious because of disconnection. It's quite simple, but meanwhile very symmetrical and beautiful. In Unreal Tournament, repetition can be applied and used very widely, and sometimes it's quite easy to construct a form or structure which is from repetition. Probably you may feel tired of repetition, but after you see a very complicated form, you may feel that repetition is another way to clarify beauty and unity.
