Life at North Seattle College - Hand drafting
This Fall 2020 I got to take TDR 113 - while pursuing my Architectural Engineering Drafting degree. I am hoping to get this done and move on to complete the Architectural Design degree.
My experience with Hand-drafting while being offered online for the very first time was to say the lest a very interesting one. I began wirh a lot of enthusiasm still ended with it but swiftly realizing that what I thought was isn't.
One might ask what do I mean by the phrase "what I thought was, isn't". It simply is that my expectation was way out there. For someone who had taken the AutoDESK BIM(Building Information Modelling) series REVIT at North where technology is at play, I swiftly came to the realization that the architects and engineers who did the zero google/technology learning style - are truly ARCHITECTS.
I am not one who into self deprecating but deals with reality :) I am eagerly looking forward to my grade for this class. My lettering from the first few assignments submitted I had the instructor tell me "Juliette I see you having some trouble" lol - I am really laughing. I really gave it a good shot - staying up all night to get these done.
The Instructor/Professor I can say he is patient man and he deserves all the credit c to actually take the time to teach this class online. Imagine me with ZERO hand drafting skills had to be able to draw following a ZOOM class for in class assignments. One student actually blurted out "Sir, you are making this appear so easy".
I will say that this class is worth taking and I am a firm believer in hand drafting for how it is slowly going the way of the DODO bird but I hope this skill continues well into the future.
I will attach at some other time a few of my Wood Cabin in class assignment drawing assignments.
