Difference Between Isometric, Oblique and Orthographic Drawing

Well, an isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions, in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are 120 degrees. It simply means a pictorial view of a three-dimensional object. A dictionary says that an isometric drawing is a method of nonperspective pictorial drawing in which the object being drawn is turned so that three mutually perpendicular edges are equally foreshortened(which means having less depth). The meaning of the word 'isometric' in the dictionary is of or having equal dimensions.

What exactly is oblique projection? Oblique projection is a simple type of graphical projection which is used for producing pictorial, two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects. It is designed to show a three-dimensional view of an object. It can be cuboids, cubes, etc. According to WikiAnswers, it is a kind of a drawing that shows one face of the object in its true shape, but the other faces in a distorted angle. I also found out the word 'oblique' means slanting; neither parallel nor at a right angle to a specified or implied line.

Orthographic projection is a drawing that communicates the shape and size of an object through a series of related two-dimensional views. A drawing, depiction or a map can be made using this method.

Definition of theme-Environment

Environment is not just the surrounding and condition in which a person, animal or plant operates. It is also about the social and cultural nature around us. It can also be defined as the circumstances, objects and conditions that surround us.

I think it means that environment is not solely about plants and animals. It can also be something like human influences from someone else. It can be traditional beliefs, bias, etc. It can also be situations in which you are.

I think that environment can be ever changing. It impacts and affects us either positively or negatively. Environment may be the state we are all in, whether we are in the examination hall, thinking of something or in a quiet and secluded park. Of course, everyone will have different environments. Finally, I feel that environment should not only be associated with pollution and conservation.

ADMT Lesson 1: Personal Reflection

ADMT represents Art, Design, Media and Technology. It means creating or editing artworks like cartoons using advanced technology. Art may be something like performing arts, etc. Art is not just about drawings; it can also help express thoughts and feelings too. Design is a process or a procedure. Media, which simply means mass communication, is perhaps something like advertising your own products. Technology resembles the software or application that is used to make animations.

An ADMT student should envisage himself as a creative person. He should be aware the ADMT is a very important subject and thus not neglecting it. The student should also be aware that without art, the world today will indeed be very different. An ADMT student should also have the desire to learn. I aspire to be able to draw pictures or create a brief animation that can convey a proper message. To achieve my aspiration, I will work hard and try to learn more about art via the Internet.
