DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
Yesterday Carter and I headed down to South Broad st. to do some sketches for field studies. I had my eye on a house down there - 2 meeting street. It has this gorgeous bay window detail that I just had to draw. See below the final sketch. As we were sketching someone came from [...]
Mondays and Thursdays are non-studio days so I thought I would show what a day outside of studio looks like. My day started working on a map for my assistantship that shows the units per acre density of the Charleston peninsula. It was a rainy and gloomy day so for sketching class Carter and I [...]
Yesterday evening my boyfriend, a couple friends, and I went to the Holy City Brewing 'conjured' haunted house! I have not been to a haunted house in years and am NOT a fan of horror movies or spooky things. There were no pictures allowed inside the haunted house so no pictures of me screaming from [...]

This past weekend I went and visited the Birds of Prey Center. This was the building I picked for history & theory to do a video assignment on. The center is very cool for nature lovers or anyone who enjoys birds. They had two main sections - one for birds of prey and one for [...]
