Week 1: EOC ABOUT ME

I am an Architectural Drafting and Design student at The Art Institute of Las Vegas. I am per suing my AA Degree. I have always been in structural drawings, floor plans and overall elevations houses and buildings. Since my childhood, I’ve always liked like to draw & doodle everything I see of think of. One day I was at a clinic waiting on my dentist and was gazing at the ceiling and started wondering how construction is done to hold this ceiling that was above my head. From that day, I looked at building structures differently and started to imagine structural images I’d want to create. I have from then used programs like Google Sketch Up. It’s a very intuitive program and is very user friendly for the average beginner. It’s quite easy to create your own designs, floor plans and elevations. It is a beginner’s tool and is not the professional. To advance my skills and make a leaving from my talent, I needed to find someone to teach me how to use a different program called AutoCAD. Everyone in the field uses this famous program and are required to learn in it in order to be hired by an Architectural firm. I then decided to browse for schools and ended up registering at the Art Institute. I have just started my first class and am having fun. Hopefully, I learn to advance my skills and excel at being an Architectural Drafter and Designer.
