019 - Sketch Up (grades 3-8)

Course Description

Google Sketch Up is an easy-to-use 3D modeling software that enables you to create 3D models of houses, buildings, rockets, and more. Design your objects with rectangles, circles, ovals, arcs, lines, and freehand drawings, and use a unique push/pull tool to add dimension to 2D objects. Program offers a library of building material patterns (brick, concrete, wood, glass, carpet, etc.) and colors that you can use to add a realistic look to your creation. You can plan a house; design textile prints or invent an amusement park ride! Developing an interest in computer drawing with Google Sketch Up could lead to a future career choice in architecture or engineering – who knows! Bring headphones and USB flash drive to class.
