May 9


We started our day by going to my dad's office at 10:30 not knowing what my dad had in store for us. Oscar and I sat down on the couch and had a discussion led by my dad about the bare bones of architecture floor planning/sketching and broken it down into four concepts; Points, lines, planes, and volume. That lesson ended at 11:30. We then took the new skills we learned about the basics of sketching a space and applied them to places like the metro cars and the mall. Oscar and I had fun with this one, we sketched for 3 hours with my dad budding in for quick lessons and tips for our drawings. After sketching we all grabbed lunch. We picked back up at 4:30 with a lesson about the prestige of architecture and Starchitects and how cool it would be to be a Sarchitect, we ended that lesson at 6:45. Oscar and I then went home to eat dinner with my family and after dinner, we watched one and a half episodes of an architectural and abstract art show called Abstract The Art of Design. This episode was talking about how light can change how you preserve objects and designs.


Hours 7.5

  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
