PROJECT 2: Sketching Analysis
For this project we needed five historic buildings from different eras. Our aim was to carry out thorough research and architectural analysis, hand producing an A4 sketch booklet depicting each building individually in colour. The aim was to familiarise students with how to conduct research and analysis, gather information, organise research and create layouts.
TASK
We need to choose one building from each topic
I had chosen :
1. Pre Historic - Stonehenge
2. Ancient Egyptian - Temple of Horus
3. Ancient Greece and Rome - The Temple of Athena Nike
4. Middle Ages and Renaissance - The Cathedral of Florence
5. Age of Enlightenment - Chiswick House
PROCESS
I have used canva to do the layout of the buildings' informations and drawings

REFLECTION
This assignment, which required me to explore historical architecture through drawing and coloring, was a beneficial experience. The meticulous process of sketching each building demanded patience and precision, providing me with a deeper understanding of the intricacies of architecture across different eras. This journey enhanced my knowledge of ancient civilizations and their enduring architectural heritage. The research and excavation of the stories behind these buildings added more charm to the experience, connecting me with the cultures and historical backgrounds that shaped these structures. In conclusion, it was a fulfilling and meaningful activity that left a profound impression on my understanding of art and history.
DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
LIFELONG LEARNING
THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL
Through this project, I have learned how to utilize the theories taught by the instructor and information found on websites to create charts and conduct interesting yet clear sketch analyses.
While working on this project, I realized that there are still numerous historical buildings yet to be discovered. This prompted me to recognize that, to truly understand architecture, one must delve into historical research
We should employ creative thinking to succinctly capture and arrange extensive historical architectural information on an A4 paper. In addition, we need to design engaging, clear and understandable diagrams.
