Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) Pictorial space is a 2-dimensional flat space viewed from a distance. It often creates a perception of flatness for viewers. By focusing only on the frontally of the objects, no depth is shown between the objects as they seem all fragmented. Depth is only shown for texture.
Question 2: The Flatness of Le Corbusier’s painting’s are attributable to two properties. What are they? And what are these pitted against?(Maximum 100 words) The frontally and distance attribute to the flatness of the drawings, pitting against rotation that is from people’s experience, identification from this 3-dimensional world. Colour used, the chalkiness and other techniques were used.

MARIO’S WORLD

1ST MARIO’S WORLD
This is the front part of the Mario world drawn from the original picture.

COMBINED MARIO’S WORLD
This is the scanned photo of my Mario’s World hand drawing. Some objects were drawn in detail. Some I later added or changed in illustrator. The 2 original Mario world meet at the middle line. As there was a blank space in the middle, I added a castle, inspired by the original Mario game. Water element was also added.

WEEK 4 READING: TITLE OF READING Complete your reading before attempting these questions:
Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection? (Maximum 100 words) Perspectival space and projection appear different in vanishing points. Pictorial or perspectival space has a vanishing point whereas projection does not. Which can be also described that the vanishing point is set to infinity so the lines are always parallel to each other.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) Axonometric projection first arose in 18th century for military purposes under the background of industrialisation. The technique was used by mechanical engineers and architects.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD
This is the final version illustrated. A backgound of the sky was added. Objects are fairly equally distributed in the landscape. Some objects are standing on the edge on the ground floor. Line weight is set to 0.25pt and in black colour for small objects therefore they look more separated.

APPENDIX
This photo was taken when I was measurinng and tracing the front part of the Mario World from the first original picture.
Here is an image of designing the blank space in the middle of the first floor, as the 2 world do not meet.
After a pencil drawing was completed, I traced it using fine liner to get a cleaner version.
