Stair Sketch up

STAIR 1

Steel and Wire stairs

I like how it is floating allows more space in 

 small area 

                                                                            STAIR 2

Antonio Stradivari these stairs are inspired

by the his use of wood

the steel tops are like the wires on the violin 

STAIRS

Stair 1

Material: Steel 

I like these stairs because it gives of 

a floaty feel but still masculine because of the

 material it is made out of.

   Stair 2:

Material: Wood and steel 

The top plates are metal and the bottom part is wood

 I like how wood and metal contrasts against each other

Stair 2:

Material: Steel

Reminds me of a Pyramid this stair allows the

 person to go in both directions

Stair 4:

Material: wood 

The shape is inspired by the violin as it 

emphasises the curves of the wood

SKETCHUP

Sketch up 8

These are soem images of my sketch up, it was more about learning how to use sketch up rather then making the actual thing so probably next lesson ill be making a better design

Sketches

Image 1

Word: Soft and Speeding

The image drawn are circles which i thought was

 round and soft although it could represent stone

 textures 

Image 2

Word: Masculine and Shell

Image 2 is drawn to show the masculinity through

 harsh lines i like these harsh lines how they overlap 

each other and look like a messed up pattern 

 the shell drawn reminds me of an 

organism living and breathing

Image 3

Word: Engine and Hide

The engine drawn reminds me of like a piano due to 

the wire like strings on the end could be

 useful for the light stairs. the image below is like 

sections curved and overlapping thus hiding soem 

areas of the sketch (underground layers and levels)

Image 4

Word: Soft and Engine 

I like this sketch a lot because of the below

 ground leveli liek the geometric shapes that create

 this illusion kinda feel. the swirls on

 top looks thin n fragile

Image 5

Word: Shell and Masculine

I like this drawing because i can imagine what i am doing

the top level can be in a shape of a gem

and the bottom is masculine hard shapes

 with industrial material

Image 6

Word: Speeding and hide

The sharp upside down spikes create a sense of movement

and the pattern below it creates little compartments

 like hiding spots

Image 7

Word: Engine and Shell

When i think of an engine i think of circuits and lines

going in different directions

the word shell is inspired by the interior structure of the

form swirls

Image 8

Word: Shell and Engine

The shell is inspired by the arc shapes and

I added different layers to show the walls

the engine is again masculine with hard structures

to show the interlocking of the materials

Image 9

Word: Hide and Engine

The hide aspect of the image can be seen through

the walls closing off the inner sections

like it is protecting it

i wanted to create an abstract looking engine where

parts are blocks but under the blocks it is

                                                   

Image 10

Word: Engine and Soft

I dont think i drew this one well the engine

is like an exhaust pipe inspired from motorbikes

the soft image doesn't feel that soft looks more

flimsy then soft

Image 11

Word: Speeding and Shell

The speed is demonstrated by  the sharp lines

that form a lighting figure  the shell literally looks

like a shell :P

Image 12

Word: Shell and Speeding

to create an interesting shell i go inspired by

pyramids

as they are thick structures but are hollow inside

the speed is inspired by sharks fins as they

swim fast cutting through the waters

                                                    

Image 13

Word: Speeding and Soft

The  speed is upside down car so fast it

sticks to the wall. the soft is inspired by leaves

and petals

and how they are delicate objects

Image 14

Word: Hide and Speeding

The maze creates the feeling of hiding and the

 little walls that are poking in different

directions gives a private space

the speed is again demonstrated in the line

 travelling in a specific direction

Image 15

Word: Masculine and Hide

Masculinity is seen through the defined structures

I like how they loop through each other

almost linking with hiding

the hide section is like levels where u can hide

like a crab in a shell 

Image 16

Word: Shell and Masculine

Shell is inspired by crustaceans on the beach

masculinity is seen through the big structures and

no soft lines

Image 17

Word: Hide and Masculine

Hide can be seen through the narrow

entrance almost no one can see you

  and the masculinity is defined

 by the bold and thick lines of rectangles

Image 18

Word: Masculine and soft

Masculinity is seen through the bolts and

screw looking forms  soft is shown through the different

 layers of the curvy figure

ART MAJOR 2012

" Its beginning to end "

The artwork is based on he idea of how in todays society people are too focused on reaching there ambitions and desires making them forget being young and free and the elderly people.

SKY

The image was taken on a trip back home to Australia from Vietnam. this picture show me that no matter where u live everyone is looking at the same sky and can feel home creating a sense of comfort.
