Final Result.

So I'm finally done with my building project. It took me a lot of time to cute the mounting board according to the buildings. I accidentally cut my hand D: and my hand got really painful because I keep cutting papers using that blade thingy. But everything was worth it.

With the help of cereal boxes, it can stand without falling forward :D

Colour Theory Progress.

On behalf of myself, I would like to apologize for the hiatus of my blog posts.
I was busy with other assignments, I was neglecting my blog :(

Moving on,

Well as you can see we're still working on the Colour Theory group project which is due this coming Monday, where everyone will showcases their work in the class. As for my group as everyone knows, we're doing townhouses.

Since I'm doing Japanese styled houses.
I drew a Japanese temple and a Japanese palace.

Here's a draft of it;

Height: 82cm Width: 33cm

Height: 44cm Width: 44cm

Yes I know my temple is so high! It took me an hour to draw the whole thing. I had to borrow my brother (who is doing Architecture in Melbourne)'s 100cm ruler to draw all those long lines.

And after that we coloured it according to the colour wheel. Each of us has 2 colours.

Mine is violet and red-violet;

Now we have to cut it according to the shape of the building and mounted it on the mounting board. Then find a cereal box to paste it at the back so it will stand.

Colour Theory Group Assignment.

After showing our sketches (well mostly Jean's) to Miss Lisa. After much consideration we decided to go with TOWN HOUSES.

That's her sketch of it then Miss Lisa said something about town houses in United Kingdom. 

Called the Portobello Street? Here's how it looks like.

I find it very beautiful because it has that vintage feel to it, as I am someone who find vintage inspiring and the colour they used is pastels which I find adorably cute.

So since we have 6 members in our group. We decided each of us to design a different type of style houses. 

Like Ching Hsin is doing like an Arabic kind of house

Angie is doing Thailand

Farah is doing Victorian 

Eka is doing Melaka

Jean is doing Russian (well I think she's still deciding between Russian and............. oops I forgot)

and I am doing Japanese style houses.

Since we have to do like 12(?) houses according to the colour wheels. So Jean told me to do like those Japanese's temples, palaces and traditional houses.

I was thinking of these.

Traditional Japanese House

Japanese Temple

Japanese Palace

I'll be designing a sketch of these 3 type of buildings. Then show it to Miss Lisa. If she approves then we start finding the materials and start building it? :D

I'm a bit scared and nervous to do it since they have a lot of pointy rooftops haha but I think I can do it? So 화이팅 for me!

Inspiration for Our Colour Theory Group Assignment.

Process of Colour Theory Exercise.

Since Miss Lisa told us to take picture from magazine/books as examples for the Colour Theory exercise.

I decided to do some notes before taking pictures of it. To make sure I was taking the right thing.

The texts in black is the things she wants us to find examples for and I wrote the colours in colours magic pens according to it. I even wrote the white colour using A WHITE PEN! lol eventhough you clearly can't see anything to it meh.

So this would be easier for me to find examples for the exercise.

Colour Theory (25th March 2013)

• Define Hue: a gradation or variety of a colour; tint; pale hues. The property of light by which the colour of an object is classified as red, blue, green, or yellow in reference to the spectrum.

• Define value: When we describe a colour as "light" or "dark", we are discussing its value or "brightness". This property of colour tells us how light or dark a colour is based on how close it is to white.

• Define saturation: saturation tells us how a colour looks under certain lighting conditions. This property of colour can also be called intensity.

• Define secondary colour: A colour resulting from the mixing of two primary colours.

• Define tertiary colour: A tertiary colour is a colour made by mixing one primary colour with one secondary colour, in a given colour space such as RGB or RYB.

• Define complementary colours: Colours directly opposite each other in the colour spectrum, such as red and green or blue and orange, that when combined in the right proportions, produce white light.

• Define analogous colours: Colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel and are closely related.

• Define tint: A shade or variety of colour.

• Define shade: With regard to how light or dark it is or as distinguished from one nearly like it.
