Reflection - AP1

After 10 weeks of studying Art Portfolio 1, I worked on my second major project, which is called Dynamic Apartment in Barcelona. It helped me in finding my personal style and gaining new knowledge, like sketching techniques using vanishing points, how to develop ideas from real objects, and how to apply themes to projects. Additionally, I learned how to make miniature models. Because it was the first time I made miniature models, I faced many challenges, especially in measuring the dimensions to ensure the models were the same size and fit the room. However, it only took me two days to complete them. I found it very interesting and useful for my future work.

During the project, I encountered some minor personal issues, which sometimes prevented me from finishing on time, and my research wasn't as in-depth as it could have been. So, I had to redo it and research the designers and their work more deeply. This also helped me learn more about time management skills and expanding my search.

To improve this project, I think I need to spend more time to learn and complete it better. I also had difficulty creating 3D images. Due to software errors, I almost had to use an alternative method for 3D modeling. This caused me trouble creating materials because materials require many maps to be structured. Therefore, my 3D images are of poor quality, both in terms of image and material. I will need to learn more and improve this aspect.
