We will be having a Student Rep meeting at 4pm in the Forum space; if you have any questions or concerns let your student rep know about them before this time.
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, iPad or similar.
2. Draw a series of 6 two point perspectives exploring the space bounding opportunities that exist between three "Cross-Shaped" prisms in space. The proportions of the Cross-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.
3. For each of the 6 drawings above draw 2 more two point perspectives. The supplementary perspectives will show the Cross-Shaped prisms and their relationships in space from a different point of view. Use carefully hatched lines to highlight one set of surfaces that exist in parallel planes.
4. Under each perspective drawing write a few words that connect with your relationship to the prisms (e.g. above you, at eye level, below you) and also allude to a theory. The 18 short sentences (3-5 words is recommended) should be different. These sentences could develop those from week one.
5. While you a drawing your tutor will engage you in small group discussions regarding your news articles and design opportunities for bridging your valleys.
Note: throughout the class students will be constructing examples of these perspectives using Sketchup and importing them into Lumion. Or demonstrating techniques for modifying the terrain in Lumion.
Complete by the beginning of the next tutorial.
1. Watch the video tutorial called "Get to know Lumion in 8 minutes." here: http://lumion3d.com/tutorials/
At 3:00 minutes you'll see the section on creating movies, this gives you the background knowledge for creating moving elements.
At 5:15 minutes you'll see the section on making an object move using a "move" effect.
Use these techniques to make two elements move in your design.
2. Upload 2 images to your blog that show the moving elements in different positions relative to the base architectural form. Think carefully about how your view changes as the elements change position ... and try to capture that difference in your still images.
Note: make sure you save the Lumion environment as you go along as it will be a part of your EXP3 submission. Use EXP3 followed by your student id number then _v01, _v02, _v03 to denote successive versions (saving over the top of your files won't help you when the last one you saved becomes corrupt!).
