Sketching

Today we got notebooks for us to sketch in. They will mainly be used for when we go on field trips to visit buildings. With the sketchbook we will sketch the building that we are visiting. This will give us something more creative and interesting to do rather than just stand there and look at it and talk the building.
Today we did our first sketch. We sat at the end of the hallway at Everest Public High school and did a sketch of the hallway in front of us. We drew for 15 minutes then we went back to our classroom and had a vote on whose sketch was the best. The final victor was Kidus because he is quite good at drawing as he has proved many times in the past. His drawing one for different reasons. One reason was said by Clayton when he said he liked how it was darker which showed that he was more confident in what he was drawing. I personally voted for Martins sketch because of how it took up a lot of the page and just the angle of the picture itself.

Below is my sketch. Because I am not a very good artist, my sketch is not very good, but it is my art non the least.  I was doing my sketch from more of a higher perspective so that is why you cannot really see the ceiling details very much. The main issue with my sketch is that I am not very good at perspective and sizing with distance, so the sizing of objects are exactly correct to me. Though I am not good at this in an artistic way i enjoyed it because it gives me something else to do in future field trips.

With these new sketch books we will be able to broaden our understanding of architecture. With these we will be able to better understand what an architect does. This is because with the job of being an architect, it is basically impossible to not draw or sketch out buildings. This is because they need a way to express their art in a different way and it helps them get out ideas onto paper that isn't just a list of notes. Also for some visuals are much more helpful than lists. If you were trying to design a building and you wrote out what it looked like it would not work. Most likely the customer would not be satisfied or would have imagined it in a different way because people interpret things in different manners.
