- no use of sketchup!-



In this exercise you need to:

1. (PNG) Draw a Design -or- Create a LOGO -or- make University of ...

USE PHOTOSHOP of some ONLINE drawing tool that allows TRANSPARENCY.

Online SVG image converter
https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg

Choose the file - click convert - (IT MAY AUTO DOWNLOAD)

3. (STL) - The 3D-Printer uses STL files.  
With TinkerCAD (online) we can convert.
https://www.tinkercad.com/dashboard


  • create a new design
  • import SVG file
  • scale until BOTH dimensions are less than 1000 (if necessary)

    Sketchup -LESSON 1 -Tiles

    Sketchup - The idea was to make things 3D printable - We will still look in that direction but ...




    You may want the DESKTOP version - this is SketchUp Make 2017

    Notes from the following VIDEO: He shows you how to download - you do not need to. I worked from the web version. It works well. Chrome may crash "Aw Snap" - if so switch to Firefox. We will work in feet and inches just like he does. He then goes on about tool bars - in the online line version you get what they give you - so you may have to hunt a little to find what he using.
    He also talks about how the program works - listen to it. LEARN: Select first - choose tool - do the work. LEARN: Think about position and dimension. Do not delete the person! (Yet). Just move him or her out of the way.

    Sketchup Tutorial LESSON 1: 

    Simple Introduction to Sketchup for Beginners




    NOTE! the ctrl switches the rectangle tool between center focus and corner focus



    3 projects you can do because of Tutorial Lesson 1:

    1. Do what he asks at the end of his video:
    It will look like this 
    - add your own colour and your name 
    ...you will notice Helen is in the image to.




    2 Create - this tile pattern
    in an area 12' x 12'
    make sure your name is in the design
    paint in some texture or colours
    post [use snipping tool] the image with the 'person' in it

    Larger tiles are 12" x 12" or 6" x 6"

    3 .. and this tile pattern

    12" x 24" tiles

    10 hours of CODE




    LEARN to CODE
    10 hours of CODING 
     Choose an online programming site 
     Recommendations
    1.
    https://www.khanacademy.org
    Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation!
    I quite like this one. Work until you get past "Text and Strings".
    2.
    https://www.codecademy.com
    Introduction to HTML
    Some of this code can be used on your blog!
    3.
    http://drawingincode.com/
    The Basic Cityscape
    Flappy Square
    looks a lot like Actionscript used by Adobe Animate- I like it.


    How will you be marked?
    Each hour - for 10 hours- you will make a BLOG post of what you did that hour. This will include screen shots. You will also write about what you learnt that hour. Give examples. e.g. How to do something, a new piece of code, how difficult something was. Then you will indicate what you will be doing the next hour. Add a link to the exercise. CODE for about 45 minutes then finish up by posting for the last 15 minutes. It is best to code and blog at the same time. This way you can capture images, gifs and thoughts as you work.

    Use these titles:
    What I DID this hour 
    What specific things I LEARNT 
    What I will do next hour
    ...each hour is a separate post...

    example - html
    example post- html

    Draw and animation example post

    Tuesday - still waiting

    Tuesday - still waiting

    As it stands 
    6 people have joined Microsoft Team for Block B and 
    4 for Block D


    Please check your email and take a moment to join.  Should you not join then at least look here for instructions and I will look to your blog for results...just like before.

    On Monday, we will most likely start coding.  I would like to use TEAMS for any sort of communication you may require regarding the assignments.  
    ZOOM is not FOIPPA compliant so you are not allowed to use it.

    Monday, April 6, 2020

    NOT YET

    NOT YET


    As it stands we are not authorized to hand out work.

    So, for now, try logging onto your Office365 account using your langleyschools.ca email address.

    from there choose TEAMS

    I will send out an email with the code required to get into the correct 'TEAM'.

    Once everyone is there I am thinking of doing something graphical.

    I realized no one has Photoshop so it may be with an online drawing tool...there are many.
