The First Two Weeks

I must be honest--I had a little bit of trouble coming up with my goals for the first two weeks of my project.

I want to get started with designing the house right away, but first, I realized that I should probably know how to draw blueprints by hand first...so I'll be practicing that skill. My plan for the first week (March 1-7) is to draw a practice house-complete with two floors, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, one other miscellaneous room, and whatever else I decide to add to it.

The goal for the second week (March 8-14) is to figure out and draw the structure for my real house. I won't be focusing on what materials to use yet, just the basic layout of the house. And if need be, I will add in how the heating, water, and energy systems fit into this model. I am currently not sure as to whether or not I have to do that...but I will surely post an update about it!

Here is a more precise layout of how I will spend my time over the next two weeks:
Sun 3/1: 70 min. how to research drawing blueprints
Mon 3/2: 45 min. in class. 20 min. journal
Tues 3/3: 60 min. Begin drawing blueprints for practice house
Wed 3/4: 60 min. continue drawing house. Research as needed
Thurs 3/5: 60 min. drawing/research. 20 min. journal
Fri 3/6:  30 min. research/draw. 30 min. meeting with Ms. Zaryski
Sat 3/7: 60 min. 25 min. journal entry

Sun 3/8-Sat. 3/14. I'll probably have the same time frame. I will update my plan for next week in my Saturday journal entry.

These plans might be subject to change, especially the second week. Hopefully I will be exited tomorrow and can officially get to work!

  1. I love the level of detail in your plans, Katie! Are you finding that this time-specific method helps you? How close are you in your actual time on each task to the plans you've made?
