Sketching

We really didn't spend much time on the sketches today. Instead, Mr. Zhuang talked about how simple and easy sketches are to draw versues spending a longer period of time drawing a sketch on the computer with programs like Google Sketchup.

Drawings

We were supposed to hand in the ten sketches today but Angel forgot them at home along with the orthographic drawing. Let's hope she remembers them for next class. For the Google Sketchup sketch, Jessica's almost done. She just needs to put in the texture and colour of the trebuchet.

Sketchup Version

here you go, this is the best i can do before I get instructions on how to add texture and color from Edward.

Sketches

Today, some Synergy Grade 9 people came to Mr. Olson's classroom to tell us more about the Buskerfest so we didn't have much time to work on the sketches. Jessica is almost done with the sketch on the Google Sketchup and we also handed in the 10 rough sketches. Now, we only need to write down the measurements for the sketch on the orthographic paper.

Yeah

LOLZ, I just read the post below, and your welcome, Tiffany. I actually think I'm going to enjoy working with Google Sketchup. I mean, there will be a lot of frustration involved, but at AS today, I really felt like I was getting the hang of it. So I don't know, many I'll love after we're done this...

Google Sketchup

Jessica and I were making a 3D model of one of our ideas on Google Sketchup while Angel was drawing another idea on the orthographic paper. I never knew something could be so complicating. I am so glad Jessica agreed to do the Google Sketchup draft. I had to watch her do the same thing three times before I understood what she was doing. The tutorials weren't much help either because they don't tell you which button to press.

Design

Today, we learned about the steps of designing a chair and argued for about three quarters of the class about the definition of a chair. It was a really interesting arguement.
