Mr Seow taught us about using negative space for our logo design for our CA. I feel that using negative space is really cool as another picture can be formed if we're creative enough! For example:

We also learnt about using our pencils as "measuring sticks" to measure the proportion of what we will be drawing! There is also a "draw with pencil and thumb" method and using our pencils to find angles. I think its a really useful way of drawing in proportion to whatever we will be drawing as it is accurate but I can't really get how I go about using it and I will have to improve.
We practised this exercise first on drawing a dog.

I find that using the pencil as a measuring stick is a little difficult to learn how to use and I got a little distressed but it was great nonetheless. (Although the turnout wasn't that good -note the dog above)
We then had to pair up and had to do a sketch of our classmate using the pencil as measuring stick and we had to sketch them proportionately! I paired with Jia-chi and this is my sketch of her:

| Didn't really do a good job I'm sorry |
We then learnt about textures which are "surface" designs which support the illusion of real substances or present invented composites. Then we had to do up 3 textures, one representing ourselves, another from our surroundings and the third futuristic or modern texture.
 |
| Texture that represents me |
 |
| Texture in my surroundings |
 |
| Futuristic/ modern texture |
This is a futuristic texture. I drew samsung as I believe samsung everyone will use samsung in the future.
The next activity was to draw in proportion what we saw at the designated places we had to go. I stayed at the bridge and drew what I saw, trying my best to use the pencil as a measuring stick.
This is the bridge.
And this is my drawing of the bridge. I tried my best.
