This past week I have been working on finishing my interior rooms and adding a second floor to my house. Last week I was working on adding furniture and making sure that they were put in the right place. A skill that I learned was that if I do the assignment by the due date and stay focused, I can get a lot done.If I keep doing my work and getting them done on time, then I wont get behind in this class. Also, If I were to concentrate and make a goal or a due date for myself on projects that I'm doing in the real world, then I should be able to accomplish anything I set my mind to. A problem that I had this week was getting the stairs that were coming up from down stairs lined up with the walls. I over came this problem by widening my stairs and moving the new wall that I created over to line it up with the stairs. A way that I was successful was that I was able to do the wrap around deck easily. The reason why I was successful was because I didn't rush as much creating it compared to the porch on the front of the house. By not rushing, things tend to come out nicer. In my kitchen I thought I was being creative when I made my stove door glass granite instead of having it plan glass.

During this past week I have been working on creating a deck and porch. Last week was I was working on finishing up my interior rooms and finished up making my basement. During this week I realized that you have to have good concentration and the ability to know what your doing and where things are. Knowing where everything is, is a great skill to me. By me remembering where things are it didn't take me as long to find an object compared to before. By knowing where things are, that will help me in the future of this class. Having to know where thigns are in the real world help you save time if you're in a rush, or if you need something you will always know where it is. A problem that I had was when I was working on my deck. I had a hard time re-sizing the beams underneath the deck. But I solved this problem by not getting frustrated and took my time and figured out how to do it. I think that by doing this project I was successful in a lot of ways. By me finishing the house and making it look good was a big accomplishment. I got creative doing the deck and porch by changing the tiling and the floor boards.

During this week I worked on adding my own outside objects and added a 4 o'clock shadow. Last week I worked on creating a deck and a porch. This week a skill that I learned was how to turn on shadows. Being able to turn the shadows on will help me with further projects if I have to add shodows on them, instead of asking how to turn them on everytime I need to. This skill will help me in life if I were to build a house that is energy efficent. I will need to know how to angle the house so that it can absorb the sun. A problem that I had this week was how to turn the shadows on and how to keep it on because, everytime I went to move my picture the shadows went away. Well really you cant, if I were to put a shadow on for a picture, then I would have to make sure that everything was where it was needed to be so that I was able to take the picture. I was successful this week in finishing this project. I thought that I wasn't going to because I couldn't figure out why my shadows weren't staying on, but once I knew why, my project was then complete. I got creative this week by adding some normal features that you would see at a family home.

D. During this week I learned how to build a layout of my house and I made a design to go with it. Last week I learned how to make a 4 o'clock shadow. Making the layout this week was a little bit more challanging then last. This is where my problem came in. I couldn't make my house a certain size on the layout. I would either cut off a little bit of my house or I wouldn't have enough room. So, I took some time and thought about taking another picture and making that smaller and then saving it. That worked because I then had enough room to put a view of all the directions of my house on my layout. Being able to make a layout will help me in the future of this class because having a layout I can create more then one project and still be able to see them all, but on different floors.This dosen't really relate to reality because this is usually used for architect and nothing else.But if I were to build or want to create a business, i'll know how. I think that I was successful this week because I was able to create something without wanting to give up. Not giving up and keep moving forward will always come in handy. I really wasn't creative this week, but building a layout to me was an accomplishment and will help me be creative if I ever need to make another layout for something.

E. During this week I created a template compared to last week where I made a layout. A skill that I learned was learning where things were and how to create more then one page of work, without having to exit one project for another. This skill relates to the real world only if you wanted to create a housing plan, a business or are planning on doing another project that envolves templates. A problem that I ran into while doing this project was turing my appliances on and off. Once I either turned them off, it seemed hard to make everything I once had on hard to get back turned on. But I figured out how to use the display options better and fixed the problem that was occuring. I was successful this week because I was able to create a template and knew how to put demensions on the outside of my house. Being able to make a template will help me with further projects that require using a template form. I then will know how to use the program and succeed on what I am creating. I got creative this week by making a layout design with more then one project together. What I mean by this is, I'm able to change the floor settings and go from one project to another without having to exit the project that I am currently working on.



During this week I have been working on creating my own 3D terrain. Last week I was learning how to create a template. A skill that I learned was how to create whatever size terrain I would want my house to be on. This will help me in the future of this class because if I were to create another house and I wanted it located on a hill, I will know how to create that and how to change it if I dont like how it looks.This relates to the real world because if I were to create my own house or have someone build it for me, I'll know how my house will look like on a hill terrain or on muiltiple hills. Doing this project the only problem I had was lining up my terrain to fit inside the lines. I then moved the lines to be inside the given space and my problem was then fixed and I continued to work on my project.I was successful this week by creating multiple terrains around my house. Be able to create terrains I can add " flavor" to the appearance of my house. This week I didn't get creative. I followed the directions on what I was supposed to do and just tried to finish my project on time.

During this week of class I built a logo and last week I built a 3D terrain. I was successful this week because I was able to create my own logo. Some skills that I took in where being able to create the same line above my logo and making multiple copies of it, without actually having to do the work. This will help me in the future of this course because I know that I will need to create more houses with terrains, and I will want to be able to create another logo. This relates to the real world because I can create logos or other designs in other programs.While working on this project I didn't come across any problems. Being able to create my own logo can help me in the future if I were to want to make another logo for my business or for someone else who wanted one. I didn't get creative on this project but I know that I could have changed the way that the cross hatch is and I could of created a star instead of half and arrow.
