Ted Inocencio, a professor from PUP-College of Architecture and Fine Arts, checked my paper, gave me 4 points on the essay question and minimal points on my drawing.When I stepped in inside his office, he asked whether I was the one who owns the test paper he checked. The 30-items test is composed of an essay question, two math problems, still-life drawing, color rendering, and identifying front, side, rear and plan views. I am beyond grateful to have a stable support system aaahhh ♥. I can learn it.”Īlongside with this, I also have a friend who is an architect now and assured me that its okay to take architecture without knowledge in drawing yet but I have to make sure that I practice drawing and coloring A LOT. I was optimistic the whole time that I was applying and I kept repeating to myself, “Drawing is a skill. I applied for a degree in Architecture even with my non-existent drawing and coloring skills. Since making crafts is something that I always do before college, I chose a path related to design. I made a decision that this is the mindset that I want to equip in my life. So you cannot tell babies that they are dumb just because they cannot do things when they had not even experienced doing it or actually tried learning it. When you learn something new, connections are constantly developed in your brain. One way to exercise your brain is to learn new things. I learned that the brain is like a muscle- the more you use it, the more it expands and gets stronger. It also made me doubt a lot about the works I produce and would rather hide it in a place where I can only see it than making it visible to others.įour years later, I encountered the growth mindset research by Carol Dweck. For the following years, that remark made me believe that I just can’t draw and I wasn’t just the creative type. Everyone can be creative.īack in 8th grade, I had a classmate who told me that the poster that Iwas working on was ‘bad’ and ‘ugly’. Well, its scary especially if you grew up with a belief (like I) that the world is divided into two: the creative ones and the non-creatives. I met people who wanted to take up architecture but are hesitating just because they do not know how to draw and color. That is why if you researched some masters in architecture, they would encourage you to study other fields first before taking architecture.Īnyways, I am here to prove you that you can apply for a degree in architecture even without a background or even just a foundational knowledge in drawing or coloring. ![]() Its an interdisciplinary field- it mostly integrates history, science, mathematics, design, and psychology together. ![]() But, architecture is more than just drawing and color rendering. Most people also have this belief that if you are an architecture student, you are a ‘skilled’ artist before you even get into college. Most students who apply for an architecture degree have a drawing and coloring background.
