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 different field trips. I then saw my sketching ability improve when I started to just sketch to pass time and I saw that my buildings and walls were getting more and more detailed without sacrificing the quality of the sketch. I am so grateful for my dad, he did an amazing job at being our mentor.
