Here is a list of assignments and projects which I have done for this semester. Enjoy!
This is the final design of my Project 1, which is a detailed drawing of myself with meaningful colours.

Project 1
Representing ME
​​
In this project, we were to produce an abstract expression of "self" into our design, and also introduce our design with a conceptual narrative. What I have learnt and gained from this project is that to produce an abstract self expression, I have to really understand myself and express myself out using a method which not everyone will understand at first sight. Also, every single detail in the design must have their specific meanings and stories behind it.

Project 2
ME in Space
​​
In this project we were required to group ourselves into a group of 3, and I was in the same group as Lee Run Sen and Muhd Zhafri. We were asked to explore human anthroponmetry and ergonomics while relating them to space and project 1. Thus, we managed to build a 1:1 scale model, which is a combination of our personalities we presented for project 1. We also managed to produce a complete presentation board for our model. All in all, we learnt and experienced so many new things while making the model and had so much fun doing it! :D

Project 3
My City Dreamspace
​​
In this project, a group and individual work is required. In a group, we were required to build a 1:50 scale site model based on the cityscape of a movie that we have chosen, that is "The Fifth Element". Individually, we were to create our own character based on the movie, then build a 1:50 scale hideout model for our character. For me, my character is the priest's daughter who's hurt by her father and wants to have a getaway. Thus, I built a hideout for her in the back alley of two skyscrapers in the movie.
