Welcome to your new Blog!
This is your free resource that can be accessed from any computer in college and at home. Although you have the Blackboard for official pieces of information and announcements this site is slightly less formal but I hope no less helpful.
In advance of each session I will let you know of any required resources that you may need to carry out the exercises so it will be a good idea to keep posted regularly for updates. These will usually go up on a Sunday or Monday each week.
For the first term I will be teaching you on both the Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Although both sessions will focus on Vectorworks as the software of choice they will have different aims and objectives.
Tuesday: These sessions will teach the basics of 2D Drawing and 3D Modelling through the learning of Vectorworks tools and processes. They will consist of individual exercises designed to instill professional, efficient working habits.
Wednesday: These sessions will be based on the design project that you will be undertaking at that time and will focus more on aiding design development and looking at ways of presenting your work and communicating your ideas. With this in mind it is important that you bring along any accompanying work (sketchbooks etc.)
As we progress through the year I will give you the opportunity to post your work up onto the site so that we can discuss it as a group and get feedback from your fellow students. So that you get the most out of the software and the course as a whole this is vital. Although I can give you a lot of information, from past experience it is by helping each other that you will learn the most.
