Isometric drawing

Isometric drawing is way of presenting designs/drawings in three dimensions. In order for a design to appear three dimensional, a 30 degree angle is applied to its sides. The cube opposite, has been drawn in isometric projection.

Oblique projection

Oblique projection is a method of drawing objects in 3 dimensions. It is quite a simple technique compared to isometric or even perspective drawing. However, to draw accurately in oblique projection traditional drawing equipment is needed (see diagram below).

Two point perspective

Perspective is a realistic way of drawing objects in 3D. We have already looked at single point perspective, two point perspective using two vanishing points and when an object is drawn in this way it is even more realistic than if it were to be drawn with a single vanishing point.

Grapic Design 2

Perspective drawing is a good style to use when drawing in 3D. There are different styles including single point and two point perspective. The basic example below shows how to construct a simple single point perspective drawing of a cube. Using the same skills more complex drawings/designs can be drawn, after a little practice.

Journal - Week #2

Monday February 21, 2011 - Holiday, no school
Tuesday February 22, 2011 - Finished the project from Friday. Learned about a new project but I'm a little confused how to execute it.
Wednesday February 23, 2011 - Working on a project using construction lines....I find it to be a bit of a pointless project.
Thursday February 24, 2011 - Was not in school....Went on a trip for half the day
Friday February 25, 2011 - Did three quizzes.

Anchor plate

This was easy once I figure out what I needed to do. Fun project though

TANgent


I am not sure what the point of this project was, but it was interesting.

Module 4


I finally learned how to properly use the trim tool :D

Monday February 14 - Tried to finish my house, the program proved to be resistant at this point
Tuesday February 15 - Finished my house, then we worked on a new project I can't remember the name.
Wednesday February 16 - Finished the dimension project (Yes I remembered the project name after I posted this)
Thursday February 17 - Started working on a new and harder project, this is going to be fun

This is a better view of the floor plan of the second floor.

A look at the first and second floor of my house.

This was fun to build, once I learned how to use the program.

Car

This the car I made in technology class, gave me a giant headache
