Agenda May 9-16 - Google Sketchup

Hello all! Here is the last project we will do for the semester:  Google Sketchup.
  1. Watch these the first three video tutorials.  As you are watching them, pause the video and go into Sketchup and do what she does.  Save your work in a folder on the network called "Sketchup"
  2. I will take a “screen grade” (look at your screen) for tutorials 2 and 3, but there is no way you can do 2 and 3 without also doing 1!  Grade is for completion. Please take your time and get to know the program.  It is not a race!
  3. At the end of class, write down what video you are on and what time in the video you stopped so you can pick up where you left off next class.
  4. When you are finished with the tutorials, you will get to design your own room in a house.  
    1. Your project will be based on this tutorial.  Make a museum or room in a house that has pictures on the walls.  You may use your own pictures or use photos from the Mercy Activities Scrapbook.  The assignment will need to include the following:
      1. A picture from a Mercy event that you attended this year
      2. Design is not just a rectangular room, but includes some interesting architecture.
      3. Realistic colors in your room
      4. Design has no extra lines
      5. Drawn to scale. feet, not inches
      6. Include some accessories from the 3D warehouse.
  5. Next class I'll also give you your exam review sheet.
