Before the First Class

Step 1: create a blog at http://www.blogger.com/

note: use your own name to name your blog, use “awesome inc.” as a default template…

Step 2: post three images ...


a: your best piece of creative work before coming to this course, think laterally if you have not done "conventional" art or design work
b: an image of a great piece of architecture
c: an original photograph of something beautiful

Step 3: write a paragraph under each of the images that tells us something interesting about them.


Step 4: find an image showing a creative work from each of the companies below (they will be your clients in experiment 1) and describe it using a noun, verb and adjective; see below for examples.


Hazan Motorworks: Noun, Verb, Adjective



Rolex: Noun, Verb, Adjective



Christian Benner Custom: Noun, Verb, Adjective









































Step 5: purchase an artline 0.5mm black pen, and a squared cahier pocket moleskin notebook (you can get these from the unsw bookshop).


Step 6: if you would like to get ahead, download and install the latest version of the modelling software "sketchup" on your laptop.

  1. May I ask about step 5 with the Moleskin book, are we required to get the grid one? also how many pages does it contain? Would it also be possible for us to use alternative notebook/diaries such as quill blank ones which could be considered an alternative?

  2. Hi Christopher, I'd recommend the grid one because it makes setting out the drawings you'll be required to do a little easier. Not exactly sure how many pages, but about 50 I think; most students go through two or three of them over the semester. I don't mind if you get an alternative ... just go for the same specifications (size most importantly ... but quality of paper too). Cheers
