May 16


Oscar and I were out of the house early this morning to go on a field trip to see two different job sites that my dad is working on. My favourite was a condo/apartment complex that just has the supports done. My dad had pages and pages of plans for this complex breaking down every inch of space. My dad then went on to explain the significance of each floor plan, the architecture's floor plan, the engineering floor plan and the electrician's floor plan. We then took a break for lunch back home. Oscar and I then did some contour drawing in my backyard, my dad said we needed to work on our contour drawings so we did. We then moved into watching Inception and taking out the important architectural parts and looking at how the surrounding buildings affect each scene of the movie.

  Day 11 We started off our work day with our warm up sketches to get ready for a challenging task my dad has asked us to do. We are taking our 3d drawing skills to the next step with sketching lighit fixtures around my house. We drew how the lighit fixture hung from the ceiling, the basic shape with some deatials and, how the lighit was shining off the fixture. Oscar and I then watched Dark city taking active notes and seeing how the buildings and the structures set the mood for the movie.  Hours 6

 May 19 Oscar and I went to my cottage to get out 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 dollhouse sketch for our cottage. This was 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 the basement with the indoor basketball court. 6.5 hours

 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
