Representation of Construction emphasizes the role of representation in architecture stating, “The world of architecture is a world of representation” (268). He continues writing, “Architects do not build buildings; they represent them, mainly through drawings, models, words and numbers. In turn, buildings are also interpretations or representation of these mediating instruments and artifacts that precede their construction” (268). It is through realizing that representational tools are “value laden” that
is very obvious because the lines become fuzzy and undefined. These deformities can be very distracting to a client’s eye when proposing an idea. As an owner of both programs, I have discovered that a strong project and presentation consist of drawings done both in AutoCAD and ArchiCAD. Since both programs excel in their own areas, an Architect could use a combination of these programs to reach perfection when submitting an idea to a client.
Introduction It is usually very important for any restaurant, not just a college restaurant to have a proper floor plan that will ensure proper flow of activities and service. Failure of which usually leads to mishaps for example guests finding it difficult to locate the guest room or even getting lost on their way there, servers and guests bumping into each other while going round a sharp corner or when individuals have to take a seat next to a stranger(s) so as to give space for another individual
without the use of computers would be very arduous tasks. It would take many draftsmen many months to complete all of the drawings necessary to build a skyscraper. The advent of the computer has greatly improved the way the construction occurs today. Computer Aided Drafting and design programs facilitate the way buildings are designed. Auto Cad allows a draftsmen to produce drawings in a quick and efficient. Computers allow draftsmen to draw and make changes without picking up a pencil or eraser
This report is being written as if you were to fully design my senior project. These are all the steps and procedures you would need to take to properly design it. First thing you would need to do would be identifying specific landmarks of surrounding land or lot. You would note down anything and roughly measure marks approximate to house location, this way you would have a general idea of where the house would be. If there are no big landmarks, such as nearby houses or roads - you should note
enough for them. Their clients sometimes wouldn’t like what they had built for them. So eventually the contractors asked the clients to tell them exactly what they wanted. Since it was hard to sketch accurately, tools were developed to aid them in drawing. This enabled the client to show the contractor exactly what he wanted. As the population grew rapidly the demands for faster and more accurate plans did also. Once again drafters looked for a new way to draw. They decided to turn to the computer
Technical Theater During the Restoration Lighting and Scenic Design England 1660-1800 The Restoration in England was an era ripe for the development of new ideas in the arts. The return of the Stuart monarchy under Charles II marked the end of eighteen years of almost dictatorial control by Oliver Cromwell and his Puritan parliament. Cromwell had campaigned actively to halt all theatrical activity. In the end, however, his laws were actually responsible for helping move England forward in theatrical
turning part of the U shape and enlarged it. In order to achieve the tenderness of the material on my drawing, I used tissue to blend the areas so the gradual change from light to dark was successfully completed. I also found that when I made the shadow part really dark and the light part really light, the three-dimensional vision was represented strongly. Although the mood of this drawing was soft, I still slightly regret that the folding was too simple. I selected an area from the chalk
The Woman Behind Cleopatra, by William E. Wallace, is an article about Michelangelo’s famous Cleopatra drawing. The article also looks at the drawing on the reverse side that is called grotesque by many; why the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston included it in an exhibition of the masters, and Michelangelo’s relationship with Tommaso de’ Cavalieri. Wallace is a Professor of Art History at Washington University in Saint Louis and the author of the book, Michelangelo: The Artist, the Man, and His Times
instance, if all the elements of the ancient information were lost forever, and to never see again. Just picture the Santa Maria De Fiore without a dome structure. The greatest accomplishments in engineering history and form to never exist. This drawing is a drawing is a depiction of that reality being presented. The unfortunate part about this, it was true for Florence to experience a dome-less cathedral in any type of weather before the contest for a commission that Brunelleschi won. During the time
interest in art and with their blessing I continued my theme of interest by taking up the violin when I was merely seven years old, progressing throughout middle school. In middle school; I had taken all the possible art classes I would enjoy, ceramics, drawing and painting and orchestra.
I have chosen to compare two paintings by Pablo Picasso. The first painting, Garcon a la pipe, was made in 1905. It measures 100cm by 81.3 cm and it translates to “Boy with a pipe”. The second painting, Le Reve, was made almost thirty years later by Picasso. It measures 130cm by 97cm and translates to “The Dream”. Both paintings were made using oil on canvas, but have significantly different styles. Using oil on canvas is a particularly popular choice for many artists. The use of oil based paint
What is technical language? Scientists have tried to come up with a definition since the beginning of the 18th century, therefore many interpretations have been made. They started to discuss terms and vocabularies in order to define technical language. A couple of years later they emphasized the importance of text and nowadays they are talking about text from a communication aspect. The Anglo-Saxon society regarded a language to be a system, therefore they found little interest in technical language
me angry. Angry because my interpretation of this passage brought back a lot of memories of events that I have had to deal with in my educational "career". There were two sentences, in particular, that really ticked me off. The first was: If a drawing instrument is put in the child's hand, that child will almost instinctively use it to draw--a "skill" that no one has imparted or transmitted to the child. The second was: The child must be exposed to language in order for him or her to acquire
The Ghost’s Appeal: Man’s Interest in the Superficial in Toulouse-Lautrec’s At the Moulin-Rouge Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous painting, At the Moulin-Rouge, combines striking coloring with abnormal lighting to create a work that addresses men’s superficial interest in women. The dark scene depicted in the painting includes ten people scattered about a restaurant. In the center, two women and three men sit casually around a table while the background portrays two men and a woman peering into
The artwork that I picked out was by Edgar Degas Interior. It was created between 1868–1869 and can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I picked this artwork because when I took Intro to Art in my freshmen year this artwork appealed to me because of its mysteriousness and agitation. When I looked at other works of arts by Degas I found this one very striking. There are no clear clues or answers to the questions that are raised when one looks at this work by Degas which makes it very unique
and verbal language. In contrast, qualitative participatory methods such as drawings, timelines, vignettes and narratives encourage children to freely express their emotions, feelings and ideas. Thus, through self-participatory methods children’s needs could be understood better, quality of care can be reoriented and further improved. In the past, few authors have assessed children’s anxiety, fear and behavior using drawings and narratives.1, 2-4 Pond, in 1968, found stories concerned with pain, blood
Albert Bierstadt has mostly painted landscaping or valleys. All his paintings were oil canvases; his canvases were huge and have dramatic colors like green, blue yellow and etc. He was born in Germany and moves to Massachusetts were he did some of his paintings. Later on, he then moved back to Germany and went to the Royal Academy for landscaping painters with Andreas Achenbach and Karl Friedman Lessing. The group travelled together and painted some views. They also went with Albert Bierstadt and
changes in the history of art have occurred with religious values and related to royal blood. The artistic genius of Peter Paul Rubens has impacted the development of the Baroque art. The prolific works from Rubens included many paintings, prints, and drawings. Thus, made Rubens one of the greatest Flemish artists during the seventeenth century. And they were very known to the Catholic church and the royal influences around Europe. But most of the time of his artistic career, he painted for his own pleasure
Peter Paul Rubens’ masterpiece, Venus and Adonis, is not only a significant artwork of the baroque-period in Europe during the 17th century, but it also tells the mythological story that begins with love, and ends in tragedy. Displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this painting is admired for representing the unique baroque-style of this era, as well as Rubens’ particular use of the medium and how it reaches those who are viewing it. His attention to detail and crafty use of symbolism within
