Free-hand Drawing (Lines) & Writing

Project 1 : 9 Sketches

In Project 1, we have to concentrate on application of different types of sketching.

We are required to produce minimum 9 sketches exploring and experimenting on nine different topics.

The 1st topic is "Animal or Figure in Action" which the location is in Taman Tasik Perdana.

The 2nd topic is "Spatial Structural & Joint" which the location is in KL Sentral KTM station.

The 3rd topic is "5 Minutes Sketch" which the location is in KL Sentral KTM station.

The 4th topic is "Geometric Projections" which the location is in Sunway Pyramid.

The 5th topic is "Spatial Communication" which the location is in Sunway Pyramid.

The 6th topic is "Human Activities" which the location is in KL Sentral KTM station.

The 7th topic is "Object in Nature Context" which the location is in Taman Tasik Perdana.

The 8th topic is "Tracing a Photo" which the location is in Sunway Pyramid.

The 8th topic is "Creative Perspective" which the location is in Sunway Pyramid.

Project 2a : Architecture Drawings

In Project 2a, we have to concentrate on the objects measuring and present them in drawings technically.

This project introduces us to visualization and expression of objects through 2 dimensional documents.

Project 2b : Diagrammatic Analyses

In Project 2b, we have to concentrate on doing analysis on a site, which we have choses within Taylor's University area in group.

After that we have to make a presentation of this diagrammatic analysis.

Final Project Part A :
Art Installation (Schematic Design)

In our Final Project Part A , we have to propose an Art Installation which response to an event (SPARTFEST’13), functional program and users’ experiences.

We have to select and/or consolidate initial design ideas and develop it by producing a schematic plan, elevation and section, and a study model 1:20. The schematic should respond to the physical site, functional and event requirements. 

  Final Project Part B :

Art Installation (Installation Process)

In our Final Project Part B, we have to generate design through conscious consideration of structural stability, durability and materials selection.

The installation has to be made from recycled / used materials and the structure has to be made durable and stable to last over the duration of 3 days in an open space (consider weatherconditions and wear and tear)

Writing

The most important thing before writing an essay is to pre-write.

There are many techniques to do the pre-writing such as listing out the point, mind mapping, questioning and so on.

Thesis statement, topic sentences, major ideas, supporting ideas, specific evidence, transition words are also very important while constructing an essay.

My lecturer concentrated more on "compare and contrast essay" and "cause and effect essay"

I have learnt much more than I expected.

Listening

During the lessons, lecturer trained us to concentrate listening to conversations, discussions, presentations, announcements and so on.

After that, we had to answer the questions about those sound recordings.

For me, it was quite fun because we had to guess some of the answers as we can't really follow and catch up the sound recordings.

Lecturer gave us many chances to practise before we had our listening quiz.

Presentation

The first step we had to travel a trip in group and produce a blog.

 My group chose Jonker Street, Malacca as our destination for this trip.

For this trip, we had to concentrate on food, people, activities, buildings and culture.

This is our blog -->http://group2fnbe.blogspot.com/2012/11/jonker-street-visit.html

After that, we were to presenting our trip experience to our lecturer.

In the lessons, I learned how to control the timing of presentation, get attraction from audiences, control personal approach and so on.
