Reflection on the course

The part I liked most about this course was probably the fact that we could choose the workshops we wanted to do, and thus learn and improve on those skills. I also liked the fact that Architectural Drawing and Model Making were part of the workshops, because they're quite vital in our design presentations. Since I had no prior knowledge of technical drawing or model making it was quite good learning techniques to improve on the quality of our work, and hence communicate our ideas out better. Colour seemed to be a good addition to these skills too; changing our perception on colour, since it's one thing that's usually forgotten in our classes - usually making balsa models and drawing doesn't really make you think of colour. The workshop on drawing was quite useful since I had no prior knowledge of technical drawing. I'd like to think that my quality of work in studio has improved because of the drawing and model making workshop (my model making and technical drawing skills were not too great initially, honestly speaking).

I think doing this course helps us communicate our ideas better; bringing something extra into our presentations to bring out our 3D ideas and concepts.
