For our first project in this unit, we were to take an ordinary object and create a model sheet for it. I decided to draw a toy bunny from the four different viewpoints – front, side, back, and 3/4.

For another project, we were to create a character of our own design that had a distinguishable silhouette, utilized a colour scheme that described the character, and contained aspects of shapes that helped establish the characters personality. I chose to draw an evil villain which uses triangles and curves (these shapes depict anger and danger) with the main colours green (the colour of envy) and purple (the colour of power).

Finally, we were to take the previous character we created, and create a model sheet for it. The character had to be in an action pose, which is why I changed the dress into a pantsuit, which I feel allows you to distinguish the pose better, as well as create a more sophisticated appearance for my character all together. Once again, I drew my character from the four different viewpoints – front, side, back, and 3/4.

 

Victorian Era

Continuity:

‘While immigrants had more opportunities in British North America, life was still hard and disappointing’

I chose this idea, and categorized it under continuity, since when immigrants where coming to British North America in the Victorian Era, they were having trouble adapting to the new environment and were finding it hard to rebuild their life, even though they had way more opportunities than before. This is very similar how immigrants feel about coming to a different country modern day, such as Canada, since even though they have much more opportunities, there are still various struggles that they face when they come to another country. Problems such as language barriers, finding a decent job, and restarting their life are still common and difficult to achieve for immigrants, and it can be very disappointing when your expectations of starting a new life aren’t the same as the realities.

Change:

‘The invention of the steamboat aided more worldwide travel (decreased travel time from 5 weeks to 2 weeks)’

I chose this idea, and categorized it under change, since in the Victorian Era one of the best transportation options were steam boats since it only took around 2 weeks for worldwide travel. However, modern day transportation has become more advanced and instead of taking 2 weeks to travel to a place worldwide, it can take up to a day or two. Airplanes were invented after the Victorian Era, and we use them consistently when traveling to a location that is very far away, since they allow us to travel more efficiently, as well as ships that are built for sightseeing and travel. Transportation has developed greatly overtime and we have benefitted significantly from it since we can save an abundance of time.
