The red dotted lines represents the appearance of the umbrella when closed.

The umbrella was meausred using a small tape measurer. The scale used is 1:10, where 1 cm represents 10 cm on paper, as depicted in the drawings.

The umbrella was open to its fullest before it was measured and drawn in order for it to be as accurate as possible.

The section drawing displays the umbrella’s inside structure as well as its exterior.

Measured Drawing - Umbrella

These sketches are of an umbrel-la, also known as a Japanese parasol. It is made up of wood and string, giving it an interesting structure when the umbrella is open. In this perspective, where the umbrella is open to its fullest, the configuration between the pink string and the wood that creates the structure seems very compli-cated and a pattern of repeti-tion can be observed.

The sketch above shows there is a stopper on the top, where the umbrella can stay open the whole time. Looking up from this perspective also gives another unique appearance, where the wooden bars look like they are overlapping.

The handle of the umbrella has a curved shape, which fits nice-ly with our grip and hold of our hand.

The umbrella is wider than it is lon-ger, where its width is 86 cm and its height is 58 cm.
