WEEK 3 READING: LEGER, LE CORBUSIER, AND PURISM
Question 1: What is Pictorial Space according to Le Corbusier? (Maximum 100 words) Pictorial space is that which cannot be entered or circulated through. It has been described as a flat image which does not have depth. The promenade and prospect have to be involved to achieve the three-dimensional forms of objects. The grid frontally of objects experienced from a distance, the distance and frontally connect to support understanding of the real by inference.
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 frontality is one of the attributes that give the image flatness. The constellation of the objects wedges concurrently in that “marriage de contour” which means constant continuity of edges. Attention to the essential superficiality of secondary qualities will be a manner which needs to use the colour and texture. In this case, the distance or depth will be not important in representing space.

1ST MARIO’S WORLD
This is the initial axonometric hand drawing of the Mario world, completed using 0.1 and 0.4 fine line pen. The outline sections cut edge with

a 0.4 fineliner.
COMBINED MARIO’S WORLD
This is the combined Mario world with design elements and adjustment, completed using 0.1 and 0.4 fine line pen. The outline sections cut edge with a 0.4 fineliner.

WEEK 4 READING: AXONOMETRIC PROJECTION
Question 1: Explain the difference between Pictoral (in this case perspectival) space and Projection? (Maximum 100 words) Perspective space has been restricted since it can make it closed and finite. A three-dimensional space needs to be created by the perspective that uses fixed vanishing points, which resembles the human eyes. The projection can be extending the vanishing point to infinity, which means all lines on one axis should be parallel.
Question 2: Where did Axonometric projection first arise, and why? (Maximum 100 words) Axonometric projection first appeared to early militaristic studies of projectile motion, where they were used to represent three-dimensional trajectories of cannon projectiles since all three axes are measurable to the same scale.

ILLUSTRATED MARIO’S NEW WORLD This is the completed Mario World axonometric. I have drawn my inspiration from Disney movie Aladdin and the whole theme of this work is based on Aladdin. The solidity and colour are added creating perceptions of depth and I used a large area of black, red and golden to match the theme. There are some further creative elements of Aladdin in this axonometric Mario world such as the lamp and the magic carpet. Furthermore, the pipe is not pipe anymore, I made it be a torch by using outer glow layer. I added some windows on the boxes since I think it will be helpful to make it reasonable for appearing in this world. It is worthy to note that all the shows and gradients are based on both the object and the light coming from windows and torch.
