Summary of Blogging

This semester of college I was told to start a blog. I was a little nervous on where to start and didn't think I knew what I was doing. But as the semester went on I feel that I have grown and learned a lot about blogging and what to blog about. I enjoy reading other's blogs and learning from those, as well as looking at ideas on Pinterest as that's where I get most of my information/ ideas from. 

The first few weeks of the assignment I was a little upset about it because I felt that it was pointless and that it was just busy work. While I still don't really enjoy this assignment, I like it a lot more than the first week and I think my blogs have gotten a bit stronger.

In the future I plan to e an architect, and using a blog could help grow my business as well as inform others of architectural and home design ideas. I also have a few hobbies on the side from working out to do crafts. So creating a blog for any of those could be fun as well as informational for those reading my blogs

Architectural drawings

     Drawings    As you can see with my drawings above, architecture school isn't all about drawing floor plans and coloring building elevations, there is actually a lot more to the process than I thought there would be. For your first year of school you really just learn about the basics, and some things felt really basic. With the drawings above you can see that they are very different, and the one on the left I never thought I'd be able to draw. With the drawing on the right it felt super basic to me and was confused why we had to drawing cubes, I learned how to draw these in middle school and didn't see why it helped. But the more I learned I realized there was a process, and each thing we drew had a bigger meaning and would lead to something better in the future.  With these cubes we learned how to shade, how to create shadows that made the cubes feel real and 3D, and how to add on to make figures. After these cubes we got to bigger and better shapes. ...

Majoring in Architecture

With being an architecture student, I have a lot of time consuming projects and assignments.  This is my third year of college and my third semester of being an architecture student. For those of you who have already been in college know that it is definitely a big step up from high school. More assignments, harder classes, harder to make friends, more time consuming classes, and the list could go on.  So for those of you who are thinking about getting into architecture I have a few tips to help you in your first year. The architecture classes you take right away will be drawing based. So if you really hate drawing it'll be a bit of a hustle for you. However, I loved to draw and I really enjoyed the process of each assignment and learning about all the little techniques. You might get a drawing assignment that your professor gives you a week to complete. you look at it and might think it'll take you and hour or two to complete so you start it a day before it's due. But what...
