Difference between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing.

Perspective in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is perceived by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn:

  • Smaller as their distance from the observer increases
  • Foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight .

Sketching is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished work. If in oil paint it is called an oil sketch. In general, a sketch is a quick way to record an idea for later use. Artist's sketches primarily serve as a way to try out different ideas and establish a composition before undertaking a more finished work, especially when the finished work is expensive and time consuming.

Technical drawing, also known as drafting, is the academic discipline of creating standardized technical drawings by architects, interior designers, drafters, design engineers, and related professionals. Standards and conventions for layout, line thickness, text size, symbols, view projections, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and notation are used to create drawings that are ideally interpreted in only one way.

Definition of theme - Environment

Environment is the area around a given physical or geographical point or place. The exact definition depends on the field. Surroundings can also be used in geography and mathematics, as well as philosophy, with the literal or metaphorically extended definition.

In thermodynamics, the term (and its synonym, Surroundings) is used in a more restricted sense, meaning everything outside the thermodynamic system. Often, the simplifying assumptions are that energy and matter may move freely within the surroundings, and that the surroundings have a uniform composition.

ADMT Lesson 1: Personal Reflection

ADMT In my opinion means different things, but when combined, it makes a different meaning.

Art-Art is basically Arts and Craft, the literature and visual arts of films from theatre .The performing arts, the sculptures and designs, drama, music and sound etc.
In short, Art is a form of something that describes your feelings to something.

Design-Design is the architecture of art, planning the way to portray your feelings.It is also to make something look nicer in a way.

Media-Media is to add special effects that are rare to find on set and at the right timing. It is also about portraying art through electronic devices.

Technology-Technology is what we use to combine A,D and M.

ADMT is intertwined in a way that together can change a way you look at things.
