On Sunday, I did some research for how to draw basic floor plans. As a starting tool, I used an article from dummies.com. Though it doesn't sound professional, the tips were very helpful. Here is some of what I've learned:
-Measure out a distance before putting it in your floor plan, just so you really know how big it is.
-Note which direction the door opens with an arc. Also measure distances of all door openings
-Windows: measure windows and molding separately. include measurements from window to corner, ceiling, floor, etc.
-Note where pipes, heaters, electrical outlets etc. are
-Start with major areas in room
-Note the room’s directional orientation (north, south, east, west)
-Then draw the specifics
-Draw each wall’s elevations (this means switch views)I plan to do a bit more research today and get started with drawing the practice house!
Also, yesterday we had class and Ms. Lord talked to use about how we should proceed with our mentor meetings. I found this extremely helpful. Before Monday, I hadn't even though about how the mentor meeting should be directed, what needs to be established. I think I will establish that first, I can procrastinate a little bit with my work and push it off to the side until I HAVE to do it. I want Ms. Zaryski (the IHS choir teacher) to remind me that this work is mandatory all the time, or else I will get behind and drown by the wayside. Beyond that, I need to come up with other things I need from her as a mentor.
