Definition of theme - Environment.

The natural environment, commonly referred to simply as the environment, encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof.

The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components:

• Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without massive human intervention, including all vegetation, animals, microorganisms, soil, rocks, atmosphere and natural phenomena that occur within their boundaries.

• Universal natural resources and physical phenomena that lack clear-cut boundaries, such as air, water, and climate, as well as energy, radiation, electric charge, and magnetism, not originating from human activity.

The natural environment is contrasted with the built environment, which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment (with an indefinite article), if the human impact on it is kept under a certain limited level

Difference between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing.

The orthographic projection shows the object as it looks from the front, right, left, top, bottom, or back, and are typically positioned relative to each other according to the rules of either first-angle or third-angle projection.

The isometric projection show the object from angles in which the scales along each axis of the object are equal. Isometric projection corresponds to rotation of the object by ± 45° about the vertical axis, followed by rotation of approximately ± 35.264° [= arcsin(tan(30°))] about the horizontal axis starting from an orthographic projection view. "Isometric" comes from the Greek for "same measure." One of the things that makes isometric drawings so attractive is the ease with which 60 degree angles can be constructed with only a compass and straightedge.

An oblique projection is a simple type of graphical projection used for producing pictorial, two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects:

• it projects an image by intersecting parallel rays (projectors)
• from the three-dimensional source object with the drawing surface (projection plan).

In both oblique projection and orthographic projection, parallel lines of the source object produce parallel lines in the projected image.

Reflection: My first lesson of Art, Design, Media and Technology (ADMT) Lesson 1

What ADMT means to me is using technology or media, we could connect globally and share with the world your art piece or design. The attitude that a ADMT student should have is paying attention and listen to what the ADMT teacher is saying although the topic that the teacher is discussing may not always be interesting or fun-filled as students of ADMT should know that currently, only SST is having the subject ADMT and all students of ADMT should appreciate the lesson. What I aspire as a ADMT student is that one day, I would sketch up a design that might be used commercially or maybe a device that can help the needy and the elderly. I think I can achieve my aspiration by firstly, listening attentively in class and not dozing off. Secondly, i need to work hard and maybe I would achieve my aspiration one day.

( The Sketching )

If you have difficulties seeing the texts properly,

heres the words in the picture.

(The peoples in the middle of the picture are saying Hi, Hello, Hey, Did you know that...... and today......)

(The person at the to of the picture is screaming, " My House!!!!!! ")

(All the peoples in this picture are thinking (inside the bubble) that if only Art, Design, Media and technology was better......)

(The Meaning)

At the left hand corner of the picture, you can see a house on fire as the hot Sun set it on fire. In my opinion, a house that lacks design (structural safety) and technology (resistance to heat) would easily go on fire.

Beside the house, you can see a house that is being blown down by the wind. In my opinion, a house that lacks design (structural safety) and technology (resistance to wind) would be blown down by the wind easily.

In the middle of the picture, you can see a crowd that is standing on a pedestrian pavement chatting with each other. They are exchanging information with each other about current happenings by talking as the most common way of communicating without technology and media would be talking. So if there was technology, like internet or a handphone, or if there was media, like newspaper or the news, people would be updated about current happenings easier and do not need to rely mostly on talking to exchange information. So, all the peoples in this picture are think that if there was technology, life would be a lot more easier and fun.

The overall of this picture looks old and low quality (e.g. The straw house and the low quality pavement) to depict the lack of Art, Design, Media and Technology
