Week 7 Lecture The Black Box between Drawing Modelling and Representation

The image on the left portraying the dark narrow passageway, with the light coming from the end, reflects the core concept or main theme of my Unreal design, which is the "Path to Enlightenment". For the interior space of my design, I am planning on creating a maze where there will be some obstructions, which signifies the idea that sometimes a lot of our ideas may come to a dead end; however if we keep pursuing, then eventually one of our ideas will become successful (which is signified by the light at the end of the passageway in the image). The confined and compact nature of the space from the images is an essential component that I will try to incorporate in the interior space of my design. I will try to create a stifling atmosphere for the interior space, which will juxtapose with the expansive and well ventilated environment of the exterior space.

"A man can have a thousand ideas, and find himself bolted to the earth, if those ideas do not come to fruition; however if he manages to get one of his ideas to see the light of day, then he is relieved from the heavy weight that he carries and becomes free"

Experiment 1

Developed SketchUp model

Model 1

Model 2

Model 3

I tried to illustrate in my model the differences in the artistic flair and personalities of my 2 artists. One of the words that I used to describe one of my artists' work is contrast, and this is reflected by the differences in the spaces created above ground and below ground. One of the main dissimilarities is the use of textures on the structures. I noticed that a lot of Rosalie Gascoigne's works features a vast array of bright colours, whereas Tracey Moffatt incorporates some black, white and grey colours in some of her works. These concepts influenced me to create textures with these colours. Another main contrast between the two galleries is the granduer and ceremonial nature of the pyramids compared with the unadorned and relaxed settings of bottom gallery.

Using SketchUp

In developing this model I used a sandbox to create the uneven surface, and I learned how to draw on spheres using the "intersect with model" tool. The spiral stairs were based on a youtube tutorial called "Snail Stairs"
