Treehouse

We are a little more than a week into our new project, and I am liking it so far.  I have enjoyed the brainstorming process while coming up with a unique purpose/idea for my tree and treehouse.  I have taken some pictures with a nice camera from a handful of angles so that I will be able to document my process and have sketches over quality photography.

My tree is located in the front yard outside of strong hall, across from wescoe beach.  The tree isn't very unique in its shape or size, but its large and noticeable.  During the brainstorm process, I was running through ideas about how I could design a tree house for this particular tree, but I wasn't thinking about HOW the treehouse could be used.  As I sat and sketched this tree, I noticed that it was an extremely beautiful day - and everyone was out and about.  Thousands of people walked by, all sorts of groups were set up on wescoe beach, music was playing, birds were chirping, the basketball players were everywhere.... EVERYONE was outside.  It came to me that this tree would be perfect for 'people watching' - I found myself just sitting back and watching almost more than sketching my tree.

I am excited to continue on with this project
