Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) Pictorial Space is the space which cannot be entered or circulated through acording to Le Corbusier. It is entirely limited 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) IThe flatness of Le Corbusier’s paintings are attributed to avoidance of the colour black to signify depth and distance. Frontality and distance both provide the “knowledge of the real only by inference.”(Krauss, 1972) Despite possessing the essence of pictorial space, they preferred to creat their own sense of depth.

1ST MARIO’S WORLD
The first Mario World designed based on the projection, draw in axonmetric form. It includes the imaginary line to help me understand the depth of the objects.

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) Pictoral space’s constuction is disroted. It is accurate and unlimited measurable to scale. Projection is much more limited to scale. Vashing points axonometric projection is extended to infinity.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) In the beginning, the axonometric projection appeared in 18th century early militaristic studies of artillery projectiles. The axonometric projection was be used to calculate three dimensional trajectories for projectiles in order to ensure accurate charting.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD
This illustration presents The completed Mario’s world. The main concept for my design is the hot spring resort town for Mario. It’s a natural and silent place. There is a waterfall in the world which connect two projections. There is also billboards and the logo above the basement room. Also, there is an aquarium under the forest. I added the heart type fountain and a small garden in the world.

APPENDIX
Here I prepared the tools and set my board with 45 degrees angle,then I started drawing.
In this step, I use the ballpoint pen to facsimile based on my first Mario world avoid these imaginary lines,and then I just added some decorations.
This is my first Mario world,no decorations. I keep these imaginary line for every object to help me understand the level and each combination for these objects. 9
