1) A couple of weeks in built environment module.
This is all new for me. Today was our first lesson in the built environment module. The tutors set out their expectations and they told us about some of the things we would be doing. One of them is a lot of drawing.
Today we have been learning about architectural drawings like plans, sections and elevations their use. I was a little anxious the week before about the different usage, types of pens and pencils but I have been encouraged this week to use 2H 0.3mm pencil. My tutor has explained to me that I need to start drawing in order for me to choose the best tool. Although using the right pen or pencil will save time and paper, as long as my drawings are clear, clean and presentable, there is no need to panic.
Getting us to draw in class was great. I have learned a few tips that will save me time in the future. The tutors are all helpful and dedicated and good at teaching. I believe the books they recommended reading for this module were very useful. They enhanced what tutors were talking about in class.
My family were proud of me when I showed then my first attempts.
I figured out I need to practice drawing other buildings at home before been sure that I can put together architectural drawings.
