Overall Reflection

Throughout these 14 weeks, I've learned a lot in this module such as how to draw models in different view(plan view, elevation view, section view), axonometric drawing, ways to draw perspective view from plan view and many more. Throughout this module, I've burn many midnight oils to finish off assignments before due date. In each project, I try my best and put in all effort to complete them as perfect as possible. Although it is very tiring and headache throughout this module especially when something goes wrong but whenever I finish it, the end product always satisfies me. 

​

In the first assignment, I got really excited as we get to draw a movie poster. Applying knowledge that I've learned from lecture and tutorial classes, acknowledging that layering, size of an object, an eye-catching movie tittle are some of the main considerations designing a movie poster to communicate and delivers the message even better to the audience. Although I've been through some rejections and critic from others hence i had to change my initial design but I'm grateful of them because from there I can grow faster and learn even more. 

 

In the 2nd assignment, as there is a backlog of assignments from a different module which results a lack of time for this assignment. I rushed and spend many nights having less than 3 hours sleep to finish off this assignment on time. The part that I struggle the most is the axonometric drawing and perspective drawings. I'm unsure about the ways to draw bothof it hence I took a long time to draw those 3 drawings, kept on repeat drawing when I found out something wrong. At the end I get to overcome all the up and downs and finish the assignment on time. ​

​

In the 3rd assignment, it is a collaboration with the module Architecture Design I. I started to feel exhausted after going through two third of the sem. At the starting of the 3rd project, I had to wait until my design is confirmed and my model is finished before starting the presentation board. As I spend too much time on my model resulting I had to rush with my presentation board. My model is made out of mainly curve shape so it is a big challenge for me to get the measurements especially at the axonometric drawing, I spend much time on drawing it. I'm grateful that it all still  went out well and I still managed to finish it on time with all the proper information required. 

​

Taylor's Graduate Capabilities (TGC) that I've learned: 

​

TGC 1.0: Discipline Specific Knowledge

In this module, I've learned to apply theories teach in lecture classes in my assignments. As an example, the proper way to draw perspective drawings and axonometric drawings, the importance and difference of line weights, the important of architectural lettering and many more. 

​

TGC 4.0: Communication Skills

Communication skills is important in this module as this modules mainly teaches us how to use our drawings to communicate with our audience and clients, delivering the message and information correctly. All the drawings I've learnt to draw in this module helps me understand more about it on how to read and deliver the information on the drawing.

​

TGC 6.0: Intrapersonal Skills

All 3 assignments including 4 tutorial exercises are individual works, hence being self-reliant is important for me in this module. I had to keep myself discipline throughout the whole module because I had to solve problems by myself. In this semester, the load of assignments are heavy hence I need to manage my time well and not procrastinate.
