Students will learn how to build a detailed 3D house and learn a lot about architecture along the way! Each lesson will begin by learning new SketchUp tools. I will be going over each new tool, how it works, and what it will be used for in regards to the 3D house model. The completed house should be submitted to the Outschool classroom. The Student may submit up to 3 houses or objects on which to receive feedback. *Please note, grades (letter/percentage) are not issued for this course. For interaction: Learners will post their work in the classroom to share with one another. Learners will ask each other questions and be able to give tips and demonstrations to explore new and innovative ways to create objects. Learners are able to post screenshots in the classroom to receive feedback from me as well as other learners. The more we share, the more we will learn. I will be checking the classroom every Monday and Thursday to give feedback and to answer questions. I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations.
