Project 1: On-site Sketching & Tonal Values

Project 1A: On Site Sketching
Task:

You are required to engage with the site by experiencing it through a spatial sequence of your choice. While moving in sequence, you are required to record your observation and perception of the spaces and the human habitation of these spaces through free-hand sketches. This sequence must include both exterior and interior spaces.
You are required to capture/emphasize the following aspects of the built environment within the site to demonstrate your understanding of space:

  • Solids and voids: Form, Skin, Structure
  • Opening/Aperture; openness/enclosure; inside/outside; light/shadow
  • Rhythm in architecture
  • Details
  • Textural effects/Materials
  • Landscape/Setting
  • Scale and proportion (Relation to human and other surrounding built environment) 
Project 1B: Tonal Values
Task:

Based on the image provided, produce four variations of a tonal value sketch. You can vary the sketches in the hatching type and medium. Examples of hatching types include stippling, cross-hatching, one-directional (hatching) and scribbling.
You may choose to produce these in pencil, ink or mixed media. 



Reflection:

The on site sketches did help in developing on site my perspective capturing skills which I have never done before, I understand a bit more about perspective and also architectural sketching, this assignment also required good time management because we need to produce sketches in max 20 mins on site, and render it afterwards.
These sketches actually improved my sketching skill, I looked into a lot of professional sketches to see how can I improve in my skill and enhancing my tonal values.
