Masters Program in Architecture but not strong at drawing

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a history major, I dabbled in photography in high school and a little bit of creative writing. I am decent at drawing and I even had my artist friend critique my drawings told me with a bit more practice I could be good at it. I abilities at the moment are above par, not horrible. I want to apply to various schools to receive an architectural degree and am also planning to attend a few drawing classes before next fall which is when I plan to enter. I have been told that drawing is not the biggest factor in architecture these days and because of that my question is that if I were to include some creative writing pieces, photography, and a few decent looking drawings of building designs i've made would that be an acceptable portfolio?</p>

<p>My back up degrees are urban planning or real estate. Would those be better degrees? Also are there any schools that you would suggest that accept students that are not perfect at drawing or even artitsts.</p>

<p>To be accepted to a great architecture program, you NEED to be able to draw well, there’s no way around it. Whoever tells you that being able to draw very well isn’t “that” important is misinformed because architecture is an art form at its base. You said you can draw above average but try to improve drastically. Also do you enjoy it? It’s a very tough area.</p>

<p>@tyrtle I do enjoy it. Then again I have not gotten into the meat of it. I only simply have my experience through the research I have done. Would you believe it is safe to apply to a school and get better at drawing as I go through with it or will they not accept me until my drawing is above average?</p>
