WEEK 3 READING: LEGER, LE CORBUSIER, AND PURISM.
Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) According to Le Corbusier, pictorial space is that which cannot be enteres or circulated through. It is irremediably space viewed from a distance, and is therefore eternally resigned to frontality.
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 two properties of Le Corbusier’s paintings are the use of black and distance. The chalkiness of his color could enforce the sence of a continuous skin of paint that spans the surface from edge to edge, without break. Besides, distance can represent the cesura between the appearance of the object and the object itself.

WEEK 4 READING: AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION Complete your reading before attempting these questions:
Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictorial (in this case perspectival) space and Projection? (Maximum 100 words) There is difference between pictorial space and projection in vanishing point. Projection has vanishing point while pictorial space does not have. In addition, perspective limits space. The world is put into a cubic box which closed it finitely. However, projection does not limit space as the viewpoint and vanishing point are both located at infinite. Therefore, the world is not limited in a cubic box.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) Axonometric projection has its origin in ancient visual practise, which first arised from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Europe. It was occured in a military context and originally used to chart the three-dimentional trajectories of artillery projectiles. Since axonometric projection is measurable and precise, it is the ideal tool for military to predict the distance of the projectiles.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD
This is the coloured 3D Mario World

This is the coloured three-dimentional Mario World constructed by two Mario World pictures. I draw Mario and other elements such as mushroom, question mark boxes, coins and so on in the Mario World to make it lively, like to tell a story about the adventure of Mario. Mario, as the main character, is going on an adventure to save the princess. He has to collect coins, get powers from the question mark boxes in order to make him capable to save the princess in the castle. I designed the left side of the world looks like the wall outside the castle, suggesting Mario is very near to the castle and ready to rescue the princess. Not only the characters to make the worls lively, but also the landscape. In the world, flat lands should not be the dominance. There should be also slopes, mountains, water, clouds and so on to indicate the basic elements in a world. These all turn the Mario World realistic.

APPENDIX
Set up an axonometric drawing by rotating a Mario picture 45 degree.
Place another Mario picture 200mm apart of the first one. Do the procedures again to construct a 3D Mario World.
Using 0.4 and 0.15 finepens to outline the section cut lines and other lines respectively.
