Assignment A

In these past few days, I’ve been really trying to work hard, and finish up the furnishings, and cabinets in my house. In the weeks before this, I had been doing mostly nothing, trying to finish, and working very slowly, and also getting close to nothing done, every time I entered this class, and turned on the architect program. In these last few days, I’ve been learning how to put furniture in my rooms, and put cabinets in, along with other furnishings, like chairs, tables, couches, and televisions. I’ve also learned how to render different angles and camera views around my house, and in my rooms, to help me see what the house would look like, form a different point of view. I could use these skills if I wanted to be an architect when I got older, and go to school for that, I would have prior experiences, so I would have an idea of what I’m doing. This helps in my current situation because Mr. Bailey just told us that we are going to be moving things around and putting new furniture in the Library. So using this program, it can help create a layout of what I think the library will look like, or get an idea anyway. A problem I had in this past week was getting the measurements for my cabinets, because I kept messing up, and when I messed up one, I had to start over. If I didn’t have the measurements right I had to delete the cabinet, and put another one in by my stove and refrigerator. I solved this problem by coming in after school, and getting some one on one help with Bailey. He helped me out with the measurements, and put me back on track. I was successful by finally finishing up my cabinets, and putting the furniture into my family room, bedroom, and living rooms. I was also successful because I took my own initiative and put the furniture I wanted in my rooms. I was creative in these past few days because instead of putting the suggested furniture in my house, I took what I thought about what my house would look like, and I put what I thought would best represent that.



Assignment B Compared to last week, I have been working on putting in my basement in my bungalow and putting my deck on my house. Some of the skills I have learned this week are to hold the shift key to make downward stairs because I messed up my stairs and the shift key reversed them. I also learned how to make and edit handrails on my stairs and around my deck. This will help me in the future of this course when I need to put more stairs in and make my house my own by switching up the styles of handrails and other little things like that. These skills could be applied to the real world if I decide to be an architect when I am older I’ll know how to use this program to help me out and make houses for people, or for myself. A problem I ran into this week was when my music didn’t work, so I had to try and work with all the talking and other conversations going on around me. Another problem I had was when my stairs didn’t face the right way, so my whole house was messed up for a little while, but then Mr. Bailey helped me out. One of the biggest problems I ran into was being hungry, and I couldn’t concentrate. So I fixed this by bringing in Ramen noodles from home and eating them in class, and I got a lot more work done. I was successful this week by getting more work done in one week then I have almost all year in this class. I really got to work this week. I was creative this week because I added my own style to my deck and stair handrails.



Assignment C

This week I worked on Putting in recreational things around my house. Things like a swing set, a teeter totter, a wagon, a pool, a hot tub, trees, a fire pit, and a BBQ grill. This week I also learned how to add shadows, to make my picture make a lot more realistic. These skills could help make my future in this class easier because if I add shadows to some of my pictures, I can get better grades on my Book Assignments, and then I can pass. These skills can be applied to the real world, like in engineering or if I wanted to build a house, I could simulate it using this program. In this past week I ran into the problem of having no music, because none of my sites were working, so I didn’t work as well. This week I was successful because I finally got to page 150 in my architect book, so I only have 40 pages left. I was also successful because I got to put my own outdoor style on my house. I can use my motivation to be done to help me out in the future of this class. This week I got to be creative because I was able to create whatever I wanted for recreation outside of my house, like a pool and a hot tub and things.
