Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) According tp Le Corbusier’s view, pictorial space means a volume that is not able to be identified by reason, taht are mathematical or physical. But, the depth of the viewing points that shown to the viewers , can crete a view or illusion of distance, also, simplified the dimensions.

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 flatness of Le corbusior’s painting is attribute to the use of black colour, to create depth, shadows and also the flatness. Secondly, the use of white colour, is the wat to conrey the sense of a continuous skin of painy, which can span the surface from edge to edge without being broken.

These pitted against the knowledge that one has about space by the means of rations go through.

MARIO’S WORLD

1ST MARIO’S WORLD My very first mario’s world, has shown the basic view of the mario wrold that shown on the origin picturesm, which can be seen that, the basic objects, including the green plants, the walls, the cuboids and other surrounding.

To make the view of the mario world looks more interesting, I have added some little characters on the first and the second level as well. Also, some other decoratins, for example the curtains, steps, and the stones To make the two levels more connected to viewers , and make it looks more realistic as a world, I chose to add a ladder to connect the upper and lower levels. Also,a hole that can be seen on the upper level is shown. a rope through this hole can link both levels.

COMBINED MARIO’S WORLD My final comboined mario world, it is obvious that, some more decorations like the clouds have been added on the axometric plane.

Because of the lover level of my fiirt scan of drawing, was too thin, since the wall is not obvious enough, compare to the upper level. So I decided to add anther wall under the lower level. A wal is not iintersesting enogh, or even a bit boring, So I chose to create a door and a window, so I can create a space to draw some other decorations in the next step in illistrator.

After putting into illustrator, some other detailed decorations will be added, but I stilltraced the thevery detailed lines on the rope.

After I added a wall under the lower level. the maro world looks more completed compare to the first drawing, The stereosopoc effect is more obvious.

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) 1. Pictorial space is the space that is illustionary, or , the art in 2 dimensions to treat backword into depth, shown drom the plane to the viewers 2. Projection is a technique of replicating an object, or an instrumental points of view, curved, surface, a line and so on, by projecting the poins

Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) it firstly dispalys in a military, whcih was originally used to chart the three dimension trajectories of artillery projectiles, also, creating a pictorial drawing of an object and a new form of representation.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD

MARIO’S DREAMY GARDEN

This is thefinal version of my mario coloured world, Because of the green plants i have drawn on the plane, I named the world Mario’s

WORLD 28-10

Dreamy Garden.

Although Mario world seems to be a game that boys may like more than girls, I still choese to create the world mire facy and attractive to girls and boys. So the basement colur of this plane, except the colour adopted form the original photos,for in concerting with the colour of the objects, I used green as a basic colour, and used pen tool , changing the size and the levels of green, the plants looks more realistic because of the gradations of thesurroundings.

The pen tool was also used on drawing details, and the cirrus, which can be seen from the picture.

Some other green colour points are drawn under the lower level. to create a sense of growing, under the grounds, it also means the continuous of life.

For the reason not letting the under wall not empty, I drew two pieces of glass that are transparent , and placed them on the window and the gate I have drawn.To make them transparent, I adjusted the opacity of the coulour under 100% , so the glasses can be transparent enough and see the under view at the same time.

Since I used large area of green, to make the scene not to crowded, and more realistic similar as a garden, I still kept the ground colour , which is the same colour as the cirrus, whcih is close to brown, but still cointain a bit green colour, in concert with the basic green colour.

After adjusting the colour to the brown, the structure would not be too full or mussy.

WORLD 28-10

And this is the Mario’s Dreamy Garden, based on my favourite colour, green, to create a atmosphere that is lively.wwww
