ARCH1101 Sketchup Model with Artworks + 36 Textures' Sketch

Sketchup Models with Artworks Displayed + 3 Textures





Textures used

Above (Detail)

Reason: Swallow's work pays attention to the smallest details and is often work of a small scale, therefore the texture of his workspace should be finely polished and crafted in detail.

In-Between (Reflective)

Reason: To bring out the detail in Swallow's works, a highly reflective background that is simple and smooth will provide the contrast required. i.e. if surface is rough then the details of the work will be buried with the background.

Below (Hard)

Reason: Goodwin's work is often abstract and involved manipulation of metalwork, therefore for inspiration, his workspace should be of a hard surface such as reinforced concrete or meshed metal. This will provide him with an environment to think about ways to carve and bend solid materials.

ARCH1101 Greatest Things + Artist Selection

Best creative artwork - This self-portrait was actually ranked as one of the best in my Visual Arts class during high school. It shows a few prominent features about myself, including: my hair style at the time, my out stretching ears, my big round eyes and my sunk in cheeks at the time (gained a few kilos since). Unfortunately, my tongue slapped off during the firing of the clay.

Great piece of architecture - This is a famous building by Frank Lloyd Wright that is named Fallingwater. I saw an image of this great architecture by chance when it was being used as the desktop wallpaper by one of my colleagues. I was shocked to find out that this modern looking house was actually built many decades ago. It provides me with the inspiration to design and build something as iconic in my future career as an architect.




Something beautiful - This is a picture taken while the sun is rising on a beautiful clear sky morning. To me, sunrise is one of the most beautiful thing in the world, as it means I have lived to see another day. This is the best shot that I took out of around 50 before the sun "came" out of the water.
