MEASURED DRAWING OF A CROISSANT
How to measure a Croissant?
Croissant Project is our first experience to touch on the drawing technique.
- How to draw a croissant?
The first step is to take the photo for our croissant from different angles. By shoting from high angle, front view and the filmed view, we can get two elevation and two site view.
Secondly, we need to cut the half croissant into three piece, and scan those three section. Then.trace it and to create griding .By use the axonometric drawing and adopt the angle as 45 degree,we can finally get the another part of the croissant.
Throughout drawing and create the another half of the croisant, I have learnt how to use photoshop and understand how to use the axonometric projection to create a three-dimonation view.Moreover, the most important harvest is challenging a area by myshlf which I have never touched before.

THE AXONOMETRIC DRAWING
What is the axonometric projection? wAxonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection, and the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides.
Step one
In isometric projection, the direction of viewing is such that the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened. Generally, the angle of the three axes are always 120 degree between them. It’s a common technique in engineering drawing. In dimetric projection, the direction of viewing is such that two of the three axes of space appear equally foreshortened, of which the attendant scale and angles of presentation are determined according to the angle of viewing; the scale of the third direction (vertical) is determined separately. Approximations are common in dimetric drawings. In trimetric projection, the direction of viewing is such that all of the three axes of space appear unequally foreshortened. The scale along each of the three axes and the angles among them are determined separately as dictated by the angle of viewing. Approximations in trimetric drawings are common, and trimetric perspective is seldom used.

Step three
Module 1
In our croissant projection, we use the 45 degree to create the half croissant of the whole.
- How to draw a croissant?
There are three types of axonometric projection. The three types of axonometric projection are isometric projection, dimetric projection, and trimetric projection, depending on the exact angle at which the view deviates from the orthogonal. Typically in axonometric drawing, as in other types of pictorials, one axis of space is shown as the vertical.

NEW MARIO WORLD : STAR STRIKE
The making of new Mario world. Through using the axonometry during the entire process from the flatness to the projection to emphasis that is the 3D Mario world. By observing the color difference in the two-dimotional Mario world, which shows the assorted color and level of the mountains, I realize that the mountain at the different plane in the world. As the result of the observing, I try to distinguish the plane between the entire world. Then I tries to create the depth of the object in the world can bring out the 3-D sense during the process of color filling. It create the shadow and helps my Mario world more stereoscopic,and makes three devotional effect. Finally, I also try to color them by gradient improve the 3-D effect of the Mario world.

PAPER LANDSCAPE
The making of new landscape I try to make my terrain more meaningful. By use the different between the 2D pattern and 3D surface,I have shaped it as a heart. Don’t like others, I chosen the attractor point rather than attractor curve. And I use those point to create the Pisces . That’s the reason why the whole shape looks like irregular. In the high view of the module , we can still see the overall structure as well as a heart.

INVISIBLE CITY
Cities eye 3: BauCis
City&Eye : Bauics My story is talking about an odd city where there is no people lives on the earth while in the sky. There have three hypotheses about the city: that the residents of Baucus hate the earth; that they respect it so much and that’s the reason why they try to avoid all contract; and the last one is that they loved the earth. I have combine the two imagine of the hypotheses. In my opinion, only love can finally produce love, and the love can become power to push those the residents protect their earth. That’s the reason why I create a beautiful world with vigor and vitality. I have created various kinds of insects,cute animals,vivid flamingo and some lively plants to enrich my world. Through the movement of Marco polo, we can follow his eye and observe the entire world.

Module 4
Key
- FRAME VS. FIELD
The most essential elements in the entire world is the natural environment, and those people’s worship towards the earth. Throughout my city, I’d like to emphasis the theme of environmental protection. We should love and respect earth, and that’s the way to live in the nature.
This angle of the scene I chosen because it can show a wider view of the whole Old Quad. To some extends, it can show Marco Polo’s movement. Moreover, it will show more characters and make my story more complete.
Module 4
PERSPECTIVE ONE
- FRAME VS. FIELD
My story is shows Marco Polo’s imagine about the City of Baucis. When the travel enters this beautiful but deserted city, everything has confused this travel. Clouds are hanging low, city is wrapped by the clouds and there is strange and wired flamingo which higher than the sky, walk around the city, and the wired ladders leads to heaven. Everything is so strange in the city. All those things transcended personal perception and that has ignited travel’s wonder and worry.

PERSPECTIVE TWO
- FRAME VS. FIELD
The scene I have chosen as the central view of the Old Quad. The central one can express the theme of the whole story. That’s the reason why I decided to chose this perspective.
Module 4
This scene shows one imagine of the wired city - recept. Those mask which means the traditional worship to the gods shows the local highly esteem to the world. All the lively trees , the beautiful flowers ,the various kinds of the insects,and the cute animals shows the resdients's love and respect to earth.

REFLECTION
Though finishing the four Models during this semester, I have learned too much things in the FODR lecture. Those lectures and studios not only teach me some technique of software, but also give us a “key” to explore the charm of different software by ourselves. To be honestly, I’m a layman who had even never touched the photoshop before entered the university; whereas, I can use the PS. AI, InDesign, and Rhino now. From the Model 1 that try to draw a croissant, I learnt to use different sketching techniques such as hatching and shading to create a sense of shadow. Moreover, that is also the first time to use Photoshop. At initial, I thought this software is hard to control. However, when I use it to clean my drawing and deforce my shadow, I can only admit that is obviously an amazing software. The Module two is clearly interesting project to finish. The main point is using the axonometric view to create the 3D Mario World from 2D flatness. That not only practice our axonometric drawing techniques, but also excise the ability about using the Illustrator. It’s not a simple thing to create the shadow and reflects the 3D since in Illustrator. And this world also need a great patience. Fortunately, I finished it and have a sanitary product finally. During the third Model Patterns VS. Surface, we have touched the fantastic software, Rhino. By using it, we have learnt to use the paneling tools to create own unique patterns. And it can also create the 3D models and help us to create our own Terrain. Moreover, by doing the forth module, we have a clearer idea about the function of rhino. Throughout the processes, we have visualize our imagination of our Marco Polo’s story. That not only reflects in our ability of techniques, the more important thing in this module is to motivate our ideality and creation. Overall, during those four models, which all shows the transformation between 2D and 3D, we have learned so many things, the software techniques, the drawing techniques and the manipulative ability. Both improve my personal ability and breaks my own limitation. Although I still have so many deficiency in many different aspects shch as the handworking or application of software, I have improved some in this class during this semester and will keep improving in future. Finally, Thank you FODR.
