On the first day of school, we are told to do drawings. We had to choose an object in the studio and draw. 4 drawings of the details of the object and four drawings of the interesting views of the object. We had 90mins for each part. I wasted alot of time choosing what i wanted to draw. In the end, i chose the monitor. Drawing is a challenging and difficult task for me, as i do not have any basic in drawing. Thats why while drawing the monitor, i had difficulties viewing the 3D views. In the end, the drawings doesn't not look like 3D.
After that, we need to pin up our work and vote for the best. As expected, nobody voted mine. T.T Before we go lunch, we get back our drawings.

After lunch, we went back to the same studio and the lecturers gave us a piece of brickboy template. I thought we just need to cut it out from the template and glue all the pieces together. But the lecturers told us not to cut the template. This means that we had to measure every part of the brickboy and draw the template on the drawing block ourself.
Measuring the template is quite tedious, as we need to be accurate. If not, the brickboy will not be in proportion. After drawing out the template, I started cutting. Lecturers said that designers are suppose to use penknife to cut. I can't control the penknife well and it kept slanting to the side even after using a ruler to guide me. This prevent me from cutting in a straight lines. But after more practices, i did it. I used UHU glue for all purposes to glue the parts together. My skill is not that good, therefore the brickboy does not look that nice in the end.
Before going home, we had to choose a character to do another brickboy, which is 2x bigger. I chose Doraemon.We still have to complete home activity after we reach home, and we need to submit it next Mon. Thats all for today.
