Senior project

  Day 12  For our last day of seinor project we did our warm up sketches with my dad, helping us with our sketches and talking to us about the movie we watched yesterday and what we thoghot and seeing what my dad had to say about it. When my dad left for work we then moved into makeing our presentation for express fest with all of my moms art supplys. After a couple of hours we made a what will be the best presentation at 2022 express fest. 

blog 8   Oscar and I went to my cottage to get of the city for a little bit. While we were there we did our normal sketching warm-ups before we did the assignment my dad assigned for us to do. My dad wanted us to do a doll house sketch for our cottage. This was the one of the more challenging sketches we’ve done yet. We had to cut from the master bedroom on the top floor to the living room and then to basement with the in door basketball court. 

 Week 2  Week two was a lot of fun thanks to my dad. He had us going on different field trips to have to see what we were learning actually applies to the real world. We went to his produce farm to see what a building needs to have to accommodate so many plants. One thing I learned that I thought was cool was that is how they made all the hallways around the building against the exterior wall so that when winter comes they didn’t need to give more care to plants that would be against that wall. We then saw a hotel plaza that my dad is working on and we were able to see the floor plans and compare them to the building that didn’t have exterior walls so we were able to look inside and see how the plans match the building. Two of the main goals that I feel that I fully accomplished were to understand the steps to putting up a building and how to go about making a floor plan for buildings; and my overall sketching ability. I learned about floor plans around my father's mall and on...

 May 20 My Friday morning began with my departure from home and on to Toronto where I participated in a weekend of practices for the macabia basketball team. I made my way to the train station where I planned out what I was going to do during the 5-hour train ride. Firstly, I began the ride by sketching the floor plan of a train cart and was happy with what I was able to come up with after I was wrapped up with the final product. I then watched an hour and a half worth of Frank Gehry's master class. I learned a lot about architecture and the tedious process of perfecting an idea that can ultimately turn into something much bigger than one might think. Lastly, I spent the remainder of the train ride sketching potential architectural masterpieces and watching videos on how an architect thinks when beginning a project. 5 hours

 May 17 We started the day at 8:30 with contour drawing and a bunch of feature drawings. Oscar and I then moved into designing our bridge to go inside the mall. My dad then took us on a field trip to go see Vicky Caspi and help her look at some floor plans for her new astronomy building that's getting built next year. Oscar and I then closed off our day at 6:00 with some poutine. 9.5 hours
