Assignment B This week I have been working on a porch and a deck for the outside of my house. And Last week, I was working on the interior; adding furniture, tables, and working on my kitchen. This skill will help me in the future with this program by teaching me all the different steps for building a porch. These skills could be applied to the real world because they show me how to build a porch/deck. There was a problem that I ran into with my deck and porch this week when I was adding the Soffits to the bottom of the deck and porch. I fixed this problem by going back and reading the instructions for this part. I was successful with this because I can follow instructions very easily. This success will help me in the future with this program for when I build my own house; if I forget how to do something, I can look back from when I did the book-house, and remember what I did from the problem. I got to be creative this week by being able to modify the type of deck that I wanted to build around my house.

Assignment A This week I am working on more complex material for my house. Last week I was working on less complex material. The skills that I learned from this part of the house was that it was very tricky to do because some of the things had more steps than others. This might help me in the future when I build my own house, helping to break things into steps. These skills could be applied to the real world by showing how to use space efficiently. I had a problem with the corner cabinet on the right side of the wall. I had a problem with this cabinet because you had to place it just right in order for everything else to fit. This problem was solved eventually by moving the cabinet around to put it in the right place. I was successful in this project because I was careful to follow exactly what the directions say. I could use this success in the future for explaining to someone how to do a specific detail. I got to be creative this week with my house because even though we had to insert specific objects, we were allowed to change them the way we would like.



Assignment C This week I have been working on the exterior of the house instead of the interior. I have learned some new skills this week for this program such as the render and vector views. Also in using these views I have learned to add detail to the image. This will help me in the future in this course if I need to improve a picture to add detail. These skills could be applied in the real world if I got an architectural job and if I was asked to construct a house and show my client a brief preview of a house he/she would be interested in buying. In the past week I have been having problems with including shadows into the picture from the angle of the view. I solved this problem by changing the direction the sun is pointing so the shadows will be shown. I was fairly creative this week because I got to build the exterior of the house to my ideal design.

Assignment D Last week I was working on the exterior of my house, and as for this week I have been working on making a layout of the different views of my house. I have learned printing skills for this assignment which allow me to print layouts of my house. This skill will help me in the future of this course because we will be doing a lot of printing of layouts. This skill could be used in the real world if I had to make a layout of a house and had to print them out onto blueprints. In the past week, I ran into a problem with putting different views onto the layout. I solved this problem by looking back through the printing process in the book and re-reading it, so I could better understand it the second time around. I was successful with the printing process because it was fairly easy and there was a visual demonstration in the book of how to complete the process. This will help me in the future of this course by knowing how to do the printing process. This week I was creative because while putting the different views on the layout, I could position them the way I wanted to as long as they were in a specific direction.

Assignment E Last week I was working on printing layouts of my house and for this week I have been working on printing plan views of my house. Skills I have learned this week that help me were the details of the planned view. This will help me in the future of this course because on the plan view I can choose what to display. These skills can be applied in the real world by using them in a job as an architect by creating an entire house with furniture and interior objects and when displaying the house to a client, I could choose what to view at different times. I ran into a problem this week with putting my planned view onto a layout sheet. The reason I had the problem with this is because in the book, it didn't explain what size to set the layout sheet at, so I had to guess and check to get it right. This week I was successful at printing the layout view on a printing sheet. This was fairly easy after I got the right size, because you can follow the book from there. I think this will help me in the future of this course because printing is very important for this course. This week I didn't get to be very creative because we didn't get to make anything new, and we were just printing.

Assignment F Last week I was working on printing plan views of my house and for this week I have been working on terrain of my house. Skills I have learned this week that help me was the book. This will help me in the future of this course because I will be able to understand directions better. These skills can be applied in the real world by using them in a job as an architect by creating a design for someone with there directions of how they want it done. I ran into a problem this week with the terrain, because it was a little tricky to get the terrain just right. The reason I had the problem with this is because in the book, it didn't explain this part that well. This week I was successful at with the design of the terrain, because it was it was easy to make the design of it. This was fairly easy, because you can follow the book. I think this will help me in the future of this course because printing is very important for this course. This week I got to be very creative because I got to make an exterior of my house of my own design. Assignment G Last week I was working on the terrain of my house, and this week I was working on my logo design. Skills I have learned this week that help me was using the text tools, and the draw tools. This will help me in the future of this course because I will be able to make other logos or something of that sort using those tools. These skills can be applied in the real world by using them in a job as an architect by creating a company logo for someone who wanted to start their own business. I ran into a problem this week with the logo, because it was a little tough to get the logo just how I it needed to be. The reason I had the problem with this is because the book didn't explain this part very well. This week I was successful at making my name on the logo. This was fairly easy, because you start the logo with writing your name. I think this will help me in the future of this course because the logo is very important to have. This week I got to be creative, because I got to put my own design inside of the arrow on my logo.
