WALL
7:33 AM
Now, had to do a close up detail of my wall..hmm......i racked my brains the whole day, didnt know how to do it..so...my wall was made of wood so i went to buy wood materials. Instead of doing a box, i did a long wall...hmm..hope wont get scolding for it..because i really didnt know how to do it..in the end..it turned up like this
have to explain to my lecturers about it!!!!!!
The last lecture
7:23 AM
okok...i shall now post on the last lecture..kelly told us it was the last lecture..seriously, very sad. will miss kelly, elaine and all the other lecturers. Thanks for all your help! anyways, it was a summary of what we all had learned the past year..kelly also gave us origami paper and some steps to paste together
Kelly told us to think of what our paper structure can do..and the first think came to my mind!!!! A MUSEUM!!!!!!
Mock up
6:48 AM
SO. now is the time to start my mock up! bought 2 more mounting boards! ( told u all that wasnt the end of the mounting borards ) found out it was a very tedious process to cut out the floors and everything. It was even harder then BRICKBOY because the mounting board material is very hard...using a penknife wasnt that easy to cut oso..i had to do 2 shophouses. One for gallery space and the other for living space. I decided to cut slits in the walls, just like how i did in my moodbox.
For the concept of my shophouse, i realised my moodbox really came into use, like the roof of my house...shall tell u all more later. Anyways, i decided that there will be 2 galleries, the first and second floor whereas the 3rd floor will be edvard munch working space. Here are some pictures of my mock up:
Kelly mentioned to me that i had alot of different 'patterns' on my walls and there was no rythm to it. So i had to change it..heres the second and third floor:
For the second house, it was basically the living space, it must have a kitchen, a place for edvard munch and his guest to sleep..so, edvard munch was to slp on the second floor while his guest, on the third. The concept of the second house is almost the same as the first.
so this is my second house!! i shall post the overall pic of my first shophouse.
This was the failed one by the way. Kelly asked me to changed it.
MoodBox Part 2
6:32 AM
Okay, talked to elaine and the moodbox was not accepted..haha..kinda expected it la..anyways,she told me to use 1 of my 3 concepts, which is LIGHTING. WHY DIDNT I THOUGHT OFF IT?? lighting is one of the most important things for a painter, being a painter myself when i was in secondary sch..so, i went home to redo my moodbox. This time, i played with both lighting and elevation. Slits were cut on the mounting board ( which is the 2ND ) to let lights in.
So it ended up something like that...i think its not bad. Also, i took into consideration that the top of the box shld get in the most lights as possible. So i cut the top of the box to be like this:
This way, light can be abosorbed as much as possible. Went back to sch to discuss with elaine. She said it was okay and i could proceed with my mock up shophouse!!!!!!!
MoodBox Part 1
6:12 AM
Hi everyone! i know i have not been updating my design blog...busy la...SO. i shall update everything today! but in parts..so it wont be a long post. Firstly, MOODBOX.
Had to do a moodbox on my concept....quite hard..because edvard munch did not have much concepts in his paintings. I only knew he liked to paint about life and death. Printed some pictures, bought my FIRST mounting board ( its first because it wont be the last ) and started on my moodbox. it ended up like this :
HAHA. looks funny right? i think its weird also..
