Balboa Park Drawing

I did this drawing because I really admire the ornament of the exhibit buildings there and it was just such a fun place to visit!

Week Fourteen Journal:

This week my focus was mainly on time management, due to the fact that the semester is coming very quickly to a close. I learned that to get a Revit model into a physical model the easiest thing to do is just make elevations, sections and roofplans of a building. Then you put all of the hidden line plans onto a revit sheet and convert the sheet to a DWG file. Open AutoCAD and then insert the DWG file, then all that there is left to do is trace over the DWG file with the correct cut/etch layered lines and delete the imported view! After I was able to laser cut both townhouses and villa I just spent the second half of the week gluing together the pieces, spray painting the three models white, and working on the poster for presentations!

Lubbock High School

Week Thirteen Journal:

Thanksgiving week! This week there was not many classes to attend because of the Holiday so I was blessed to return home for the second time this semester. I am originally from Lubbock, Texas, so it was quite a bit of a drive but I made it safely. Along the very long drive I passed many old and broken down homes from many old and forgotten little Texas towns, this was an amazing reminder that beauty can still be found in the broken down. It was also very interesting to compare the older homes with newer ones when it comes to things like ornamentation on the front faces of the buildings and the size and shapes of the drive ways. A lot of the homes in central Lubbock are built in the mid-century style, so that made running errands around town a lot more interesting. In addition to just enjoying the design from the car, I was able to watch a lot of Mad Men on Netflix. The show is famous for its mid-century modern design and it just a fun and entertaining way to soak up the design of the 1960's through the New York advertising men!

Hatching Practice

Week Twelve Journal:

Another busy week at Texas A&M! This week my main focus was working on the Townhouse project with my group and we learned that coordinating is a little bit more difficult when your buildings are actually touching! We focused a lot on having similar styles for the townhouses and it turned out better than expected, similar colors and furniture don't hurt. While each team member is trying to blend in together I still love seeing how each of my team members style compares to each other.

Fort Worth Water Gardens Marker

I had to draw the Water Gardens again because I loved it so much. This time I tried to draw it without pen and just marker. It gives off a different vibe, but I do not think I enjoy it as much.
