EXPLORING LIGHT
The task involved experimenting with light and different
reflective materials. We were asked to take a range of photographs which looked at the reflective qualities of three different materials, and its three-dimensional relationship between the light source, the material, and the camera lens. In this case, I chose to explore how light reflects and impacts upon polished marble and stone, glass, and also plastic.
I think that the most effective image of reflection is of the glass jar (second row and on the left) as I like how the light shows all of the details that are included within the glass. It leaves a detailed and interesting pattern on the surface which is very elegant and delicate.
EXPLORING PATTERNS
The task involved exploring patterns and textures. We were asked to take 36 photographs of walls and barriers focusing on patterns and textures whilst grouping them into different categories. I included several different categories for my patterns and textures that I had found- including barriers, glass, exterior building textures, wood and timber, and natural patterns. I think that I was quite successful as I have captured a range of different materials that are interesting and unique to themselves and each other.

BREAD MODEL CONSTRUCTION AND ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
I started to introduce the idea of model making and transforming
something that is 3D into 2D.
For this, we were given a brief to make accommodated space and light. We were asked to choose a word to focus on (radiant, oblique, rippled, focused, or dappled) and our models needed to be created using specific light qualities which had openings that allowed light to enter the construct. The structure needed to be approximately 22x11cm with an ability to be able to take photographs of the internal space.

INTRODUCTION TO AUTOCAD AND SCALE
I worked with the interface of AutoCAD, the drawing tools, the modify tools, the object properties, and the snapping, as well as learning about how to draw geometries, lines, rectangles and arcs. I was given a brief that read: "to draw the chair you designed in your Technical Module. You will transfer your already made hand drawings to the digital interface of AutoCAD. Create the basic outlines in plan, elevation and section.”
I learned about how to control the different views of AutoCAD, and learnt how to work with different layers, line types and line weights.

KITCHEN SURVEY AND AUTOCAD
Following on from my chair drawing, I learnt how to create hatch, insert dimensions, match properties, we were introduced to test styles and
dimensions styles.
I started to create groups and blocks by bringing in furniture, people, trees and building.

HORSEBOX CONVERSION
My aim was to create a travelling horse-box for a DJ. I created a variety of hand drawings which I converted into AutoCAD. The idea was to create a home which DJ could use between festivals to live and work from.
This task was designed to conclude and practice all of my early skills of AutoCAD and use them as a basis when creating proposals in the future.
