This week we will be spending more time on your house, adding a porch, terrace and coloring it in with real looking bricks.









We will be working on the 3rd + 4th tutorials, "Start Drawing part 2 + 3"

Hope to see you all there!

Where are the Sketchup Tutorials?

To help you on your discovery of Google Sketchup there will be self paced tutorials in your MSCC folder.

Where is this folder I hear you say?







To find them, open “My Computer”, then you will see your MSCC folder. Inside you will find a folder called “Sketchup 6”, and inside are the tutorials. You also have links to the MSCC website and our Blog.








This week we will be looking at the first 2 tutorials, "Intro into Sketchup" and "Start Drawing part 1"

30th April - Google Sketchup

So today is the beginning of our new project. The program you will be using is called Google Sketchup. Google Sketchup is a powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily.

To get started, create a shortcut of Google Sketchup on your desktop. Now we can begin!!

By the end of today’s session, hopefully you would have created the following:

1) A rectangle/square abstract art sculpture.






2) A basic house shape.









Remember to save your work each time, save the first one as “Art” and the second as “House 1”

Have fun.
