Project 1 - Starchitect
This is an individual project whose objectives are developing freehand drawing skills in architecture and starchitects' portraits, practicing architectural lettering, tonal values, and rendering. Students are required to compose one A4-size drawing of the initial idea and a final A3-size poster. There are two selected architects based on each tutorial group and the architect I chose was Antoni Gaudi.
​
I was greatly impressed by his unique and innovative architectural style. His architectural works are extraordinarily distinctive, even in today's contemporary times. It is indeed an honour to witness these masterpieces, and I will regard him my inspiration throughout my studies and life.

Reflection
Within this project, I've learned the skill of freehand sketching architectural buildings. Also, I've picked up the skills in choosing suitable color media by using an appropriate color palette in order to express the identity of the architect. In this project, I've gained valuable insight into the architectural style of starchitect Antoni Gaudi. His architectural design style mostly drew from organic shapes in nature and played well with vibrant colors.
