These boxes I have drawn help you understand how you can draw a one-point, two-point, and a three-point perspective. It shows the vanishing point(s) and horizon line.
This shadowing exercise shows where the light source is coming from and where its shadows fall with the building there. You have to draw lines from the light source to all the buildings' corners to figure out where the shadow falls.

Precedents for P,E, and B
I found these concrete structures in the courtyard of the McIver building outside of the video store. I thought they were interesting and could give us some inspiration.
The glass bottles in the concrete wall is very cool looking and I showed my group this picture and everyone thought putting glass in the concrete was a great idea so it will be interesting to see how our project will turn out if we end up using glass.

More Drafting
This is a cross-section of the Woodland chapel. It was the most difficult one of all the drafting we had to do because there were several lines and a few odd angles. The poche of the drawing was my favorite because it made the chapel stand out more and help you understand more of what it looks like. There is also lettering in the top left-hand corner.

Grind Wall
Here is a technique using a grinder to make chips in the concrete to create an interesting texture and make it look interesting. I had my boyfriend take these pictures at my dad's job site where they were making a retaining wall with this grinding technique. I thought maybe this could be an idea to take in consideration when making our concrete.

Floor Plans, Lettering, Line Weight, & Poche
Here is a floor plan from our book. The darkened areas show where the walls are and I have put details in each room.Here is the Venturi House with lettering on the left. I have to say it was very difficult with all of its weird angles. It look longer than I thought it would. For the next ones I had to make sure I planned a little better.
I am very proud of this elevation of this house. Some of the dimensions worked out kind of odd after I measured them from the book since it was hard to get an exact measurement.

Direction arrows and Scales
These are orthographic views of an object. We had to figure out the last view using the drawing. It is harder than you think.
Here are circles that have north arrows. We were practicing and making up different designs for north arrows to use in the future. The bottom half is showing different scales you might put on a drawing that shows what scale you used. There is a border that is three-fourths of an inch and the bottom is a half inch. The right side shows the title, your name, scale used, date, class, and page number(s).
