Then, tutors were to assign each group a fruit to draw. Therefore, my group is group 15 and we were assigned to draw pomegranate.
So the day before tutorial, we have to prepare our material. We have to get a pomegranate, 2 A1 boards, papers and pencils.
When the day comes, we were given 2 hours to draw. We have to draw 1 top view, 1 side view, 1 bottom view and 2 sections for detail drawings and orthographic drawings. Then, we choose which view we want to draw. I have chose to draw the top view as my drawing was not that good. After getting everything done, we have to compose everything on the A1 board.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Orthographic Drawings Of A Tiny House Project (ARC30305)
Lecturers: Noorul Iffa Mohd Nayan, Ann See Peng, Indrani Vanniasingham
INTRODUCTION :
This assignment is an individual project. It allows us to critical thinking on how to design a house and also how to draw detail drawings.
First of all, we have to plan our floor plan before choosing the furniture on a scale of 1:50. On the floor plan, we have to include at least 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bedroom, and 1 toilet. We were also allowed to add a balcony or a patio in our floor plan. Therefore, after getting an idea of what theme we want for our house, my friends and I went to Ikea to get the catalog and also some physical pictures on how to design a house. We spent the whole at Ikea just to get the right measurements for the furniture. Besides, our tutor for this assignment will not be the same as the previous assignment. So for this final assignment, my tutor is Miss Indrani.
So during the tutorial sections, I will show her my floor plan and pick up the suggestions she gave me.
The pictures below are my floor plan progression drawings throughout the few weeks before submission week.
Once my floor plan was approved by my tutor which is Miss Indrani, I will proceed to my 1 elevation and 3 sections drawings on the scale of 1:50. I have chosen sections that show the most furniture and also elevation to best show my house.Â
Lastly, we have to choose a fitting, furniture or fixture to draw a detail drawing. As for the detail drawing we have to include a plan view and elevation(s). Miss Indrani suggested us to draw sliding door for our detail drawing but due to the space left on my paper and the scale, I could not draw the sliding door. So as a backup, I have drawn a movable chair in the scale of 1:10.
During the submission, I started to redraw everything on an A2 paper and started to outline it according to what Miss Indrani taught. On the bottom of the A2 paper, we have to include Taylor's logo, name, student ID, project name and tutors. After everything is done, we have to put both of the A2 papers in a clear file including with the progression drawings.

REFLECTION
Throughout this assignment, I have learned how to design a house. We have always learned how to design a house since young, but we never draw it properly and nicely. From this, I have learned it and also I have learned that when we draw one thing, we have to think about others too. For example, is it convenient? is it suitable?
Next, I have learned how to control my pressure on the line weight as I did not show a lot in the last assignment. It really did show a different.
Lastly, I am able to learn a lot from Miss Indrani and my friends that are more knowledgeable than me. I have learned that living room always next to the dining area or so.
