task_for_today

1. Divide the pages of your notebook in half. Draw a horizon line in the upper and lower halves. Use a single screen if using an iPhone or iPad or similar.

2. Draw a series of 6 one point perspectives exploring the relationship between three "H-Shaped" prisms in space. Think about the prisms themselves, and the spaces in between them, as concept designs for pathways in 3 dimensions. The proportions of the H-Shaped prisms should be different in each of your 6 drawings. Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.

While these examples are of F-Shaped prisms in space they give you an indication of previous student work.

3. For each of the 6 drawings above draw 2 more perspectives. The supplementary perspectives will show the H-Shaped prisms and their relationships in space from a different point of view (e.g. above you, at eye level, below you). Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.

4. Under each perspective drawing write a word that connects with your relationship to the prisms (e.g. above you, at eye level, below you) and also alludes to a relationship with power. The 18 words should be different.

5. Complete the ARCH1101 learning survey. This should take 5 minutes maximum; we recommend doing this after your break.

Note: throughout the class students will be constructing examples of these perspectives using Sketchup and importing them into CryENGINE3.

Complete by the beginning of next weeks tutorial.

1.
Find an image (or short movie clip) showing a valley in your county of origin. Make a valley inspired by this in CryENGINE3. Upload the image (or short movie clip) and an image from your CryENGINE3 valley to your blog.

2. Find a separate news article for each of the three companies. Create a MashUp that selects text from each of the articles and combines them in such a way as to suggest a distinctive and significant approach to the idea of power. Use a maximum of 250 words. Make the words from each article a different colour on your blog. Include complete references.

Note: make sure you save the CryENGINE3 environment as you go along as it will be a part of your EXP3 submission. Use v1, v2, v3 to denote successive versions (note: saving over the top of your files won't help you when the last one you saved becomes corrupt!).
