MTD111 TMA01 (Tutor-Marked Assignment 01) SUSS: July 2024- Creative Design Fundamentals, Singapore

Question 1

This assignment will seek to verify and assess your ability to successfully understand and undertake the following requirements/tasks. Kindly read all instructions carefully.

In Summary,

1. To develop a meaningful conceptual understanding of the spatial arrangements between the three objects presented in the given Orthographic Projection drawing (Figure Q1-1).

2. The student needs to analyse and ascertain this spatial arrangement in an accurate Isometric Drawing with a practical conversion scale and showing all relevant measurements.

3. To show an appreciation and verify your understanding of perspective representation by producing two individually hand-drawn 1-Point and 2-Point perspective sketches with accurate references to the three objects (A, B and C) as presented in the given Orthographic Projection drawing.

4. Appreciate and apply effective colour schemes separately for each of the perspective sketches as required by the TMA for maximum appeal.

5. Submit the completed assignment through a single Microsoft Word document.

In Specific,

1. With reference to the following Orthographic Projection drawing (Figure Q1-1).

Figure Q1-1

(a) Analyse the given Orthographic Projection drawing carefully to ascertain the spatial arrangements of all three objects, paying attention to their physical dimensions and the physical spaces between them.

(b) An example of a common Isometric drawing is shown in Figure Q1-2

(c) Create an Isometric Projection drawing by hand without using any software, presenting all three objects in their spatial arrangement as shown in Figure Q1-1 in an isometric layout on a blank A4-sized Isometric Drawing paper in Portrait mode.

2. In addition to the Isometric drawing, produce the following Perspective sketches by hand, without using any software.

(a) 1-Point Perspective.

(b) 2-Point Perspective. You are free to choose any angle and elevation height for these sketches as long as it allows you to present the most information in a clear and appealing way.

3. For each of the perspective sketches, complete them by colouring/applying the following colouring schemes using methods familiar to you i.e., colour pencil technique, on all 3 objects in your sketches.

(a) 1-Point Perspective – the Triadic colour scheme.

(b) 2-Point Perspective – the Split-complementary colour scheme.

(c) All sketches should include Shades and Tints (shadow area and highlights) where appropriate for a 3-dimensional feel and cast shadows for depth to increase the overall aesthetic appeal of your sketches.

(d) All sketches must demonstrate effective sketching foundation skills i.e., Line Weight, Scale & Proportion and Values etc.

(e) Remember to label all Vanishing Points and the Horizon Line.

(f) Construction lines should be visible but lightly drawn while the main sketching lines should be thicker for visual distinction and clarity.

(g) Outline the main sketching lines with a fine marker pen for line contrast and clarity before submission.
