Sketchup

Google Sketch Up = Friday 20th September = =Hello Sketch up team,=

Today I'd like you to spend time looking at the other students houses on this page, to help you with inspiration.

Then begin your project: Criteria: - Needs to be to scale (use the person to keep your doors, windows and steps etc... the right size. - You need to be able to point out where all the rooms are, from the outside. Eg you need at least 1 bathroom, bedroom, kitchen etc... - You need to design the outside too - You need to use the web to find at least one image to help you with your design. Eg the front of a house, or a window etc... - Help each other to create these homes. - Take your time! Remember you have 4 weeks to work on this

Good luck! What is Google Sketch up? Google Sketch up is a tool that can be used by anyone. Architects, designers, teachers even kids. It is a tool that allows you to draw, design, paint and even make walls 3D. You can get objects of the 3D warehouse and model your creation on google earth.

Where we do this? We use Sketch up at Rongotai College. The Year 7/8's go to Rongotai college every friday to do a series of activities which are, Music, I.T, French, Hard Materials, Drama, Design and Art. We use Google Sketch up in I.T. I.T is short for Information Technology.

What was the task? Our task was to create a house in six weeks. After the session was over we saved it to a memory stick so we could continue with it next week. Sadly it did not always save. Many people had to start again several times so their house's were not how they expected them to be.

Here are some examples of the house's we created. Enjoy! :)
