Unit Two - Technical Sketching

Unit Two - Overview

Write an abstract (brief paragraph) that gives a brief overview of the topics in Unit 2.

Unit 2 centers around the different ways of rendering an object. It covers styles such as multi-view, isometric, oblique, and perspective. Each style can be used to express the size, shape, and shading of an object.

Include a bulleted list of what you learned in Unit 2 for each of the topics listed:

3 things I learned relating to Multi-view drawing are:

Multi-view drawing is a form of rendering an object in which you depict it in front view, side view, and top view.
That multi-view drawing is a form of orthographic drawing.
In multi-view drawing, a miter line is used to transfer depth between the top and side views of an object.

1 thing I learned relating to Isometric View drawing is:

There is a special form of graph paper dedicated to isometric view drawing. It allows for easier creation of isometric designs.

1 thing I learned relating to Oblique View drawing is:

Oblique view drawing is similar to isometric view in that it represents a 3 dimensional view of an object. However, unlike isometric view drawing, oblique view prioritizes a single face of an object and somewhat neglects it's depth.

1 thing I learned relating to Perspective View drawing is:

There are more than forms perspective view drawing than simple one point perspective. 2 and 3 point perspective exist and are more realistic.

Unit Two - Artifacts

Development Modeling Artifacts

View 1 of my 4 paper models. They have been positioned against a background of matching colors to increase their aesthetic value.

View 2 of my 4 paper models. This picture is taken from a bird's eye view where the models somewhat appear to spell "Love". I thought it was a nice touch. (:

Multi-view Artifacts

Above is Basic Cube Drawing 1 from the assignment "Basic Cube Drawings".

Above is Basic Cube Drawing 6 from the assignment "Basic Cube Drawings".

Above is Basic Cube Model 1 from the assignment "Multiview Drawing (Six Basic Shapes)".

Above is Basic Cube Model 2 from the assignment "Multiview Drawing (Six Basic Shapes)".

Above is Basic Cube Model 3 from the assignment "Multiview Drawing (Six Basic Shapes)".

Above is the second model I made for the assignment "2 Advanced Shape Drawings".

Isometric View Artifacts

Above are isometric models 1 and 2 I drew for the assignment "Isometric Projection".

Above are isometric models 5 and 6 I drew for the assignment "Isometric Projection".

Above is the isometric drawing I drew for the assignment "Isometric Cityscape". The cityscape takes the form of a cross-section of city one block in size. It features several roads, streetlights, a subway, and most prominently, an open-doored mall area surrounded by a semi-clear fence.

Oblique Drawing Artifacts

Above is an image of model 5 I drew for the assignment "Oblique Drawing". It is rendered in oblique cavalier.

Above is an image of model 5 I drew for the assignment "Oblique Drawing". It is rendered in oblique cabinet.

Perspective View Artifacts

Above are the 6 boxes I drew in two-point perspective for the assignment "Two Point Perspectives Boxes".

Above are the 7 boxes I drew in one point perspective for the assignment "One Point Perspective boxes.

Above is a room I drew in one point perspective. The room features the following: 1 - A bed 2 - A ceiling light 3 - A dresser 4 - Two aligned windows 5 - Some alphabet blocks 6 - A rectangular glass vase with flowers in it 7 - a picture frame 8 - A poster for "Cool Game II, Extra Cool Edition" (: 8 - A simple door 9 - A wood paneled floor.

Unit Two - Reflection

Type out a reflection answering the following:

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using a multi-view drawing to represent a design?

Multi-view drawing excels at giving the viewer an idea of the faces of an object quickly, as well as describing it's proportions. However, it does not provide a single, comprehensive view of an object in 3D.

When would an isometric view be more appropriate to use than a perspective view?

An isometric view would be more appropriate when sketching a diagram of a technical object, such as a piece of machinery. This is because an isometric view gives a better idea of an object, while a perspective view gives a better idea of what an object would look like in a realistic situation.

When would a perspective view be more appropriate to use than a oblique view?

A perspective view would be used best in a situation where one is trying to show what an object would look like in a real situation and in relation to other objects, as apposed to on paper.

What is the different between an artistic drawing and a technical sketch?

An artistic drawing is often open to interpretation in some way, while a technical sketch is a simple representation of an object meant to be as clear as possible.
