Montage It

Above is an image of a night view photomontage. I have placed my model in the waters of Sydney Harbour to juxtapose with the Sydney Operah House. I chose this location because not only is it my favorite place to visit but also it had an amazing view that displayed all the famous landmarks of Australia.

I have used several techniques to create this photomontage which include a panoramic view with changing daylight and overlaying of different elements. The use of collage was a great way to combine all the elements together in an interesting way. This photomontage was the hardest to create yet it was the most enjoyable one because I was able to be creative and have fun with the various ways of presenting. The most difficult part, however, was the composition of the model and the bridge.

Taking pictures for this photomontage was very time consuming. I had to stay at the harbour from 12pm to 6pm to capture every second of the sun's movement and the beautiful colours of the sky as the sun was setting. Luckily, my time spent at the harbour has paid off as the end result looks beatiful. I am very happy with the overall presentation.  

For the day view photomontage, I went to Hyde Park to take photos. I placed the model in the middle of the park with very few distracting elements to show the curvilinear features of the model. For the final photomontage, I inserted more layers to the photo and added a black backdrop to enhance the overall presentation.

I struggled with this workshop because I had very little experience with photoshop. It is evident that all my photomontages lacked consistency and detailing which is something that I will improve on. Overall, I enjoyed the experience in this workshop as it allowed me to use all the skills I've learnt throughout the 3 workshops.

Studio Model for Contemporary Woodworking Sculptor

Below are images of my studio model. The artist that I have chosen to create a studio for is a contemporary woodwork sculptor. One of the sculptor's work has inspired me to create something geometrical yet curvilinear at the same time. The model lacks interior space because I wanted to achieve a sense of openess. I also wanted the model to look like an exhibition space rather than a studio.

Fisher House - Site Model

Fisher House By Louis Khan

This is a site model. The double cubic volumes represents a massing model of the architecture.

Constructing the Fisher House site model was a fun experience. I enjoyed the process of finding the right material for the trees to the detailing of the bridge and stairs. An interesting tip that I discovered while making this model was that different coloured balsa wood can have a significant impact to the overall presentation. I have used a darker coloured wood to build the bridge and used a light yellowish balsa wood to construct the massing model of the Fisher house.
