Following the drawing workshop, the students then drew different locations inside Giles Hall. They were to focus on the aspect of perspective drawings to capture a 3-dimensional space in a 2-dimensional drawing, and use detail drawings to focus closely on how things are built/constructed.
Students were challenged to use one single piece of paper folded to hold up as many bricks as possible. Each group was given 20 minutes to design and test their first design, then were given an opportunity to enhance and retest their design.
