Follow Up on Week03 Independent Study.

A few people have been really slack and sparse on your blogs and havent made the effort to keep up with updating it. Please do so on a weekly basis. 


As promised just touching up on the Independent Task required before Week04. Refer to the Red Notes as my clarifications. As well as working up on your model with the ideas discussed in class, you should all:

1. Include two simple shapes (extruded rectangle, circle, outline of your artists artwork precedent etc) in your developed Sketchup model and apply an image of your artists work to them. They should be to scale and represent an approximate form and volume. (This is so we can see the relationship between the work and the space that it was constructed in).

2. Choose 3 of the textures you've developed and apply them to the most appropriate parts of the SketchUp model. IMPORTANT: you do not have to cover your entire model, use the textures to highlight certain aspects or spaces. See the video tutorial below on how to create a custom material in Google SketchUp:

IMPORTANT: You should use a 1024x1024 pixel jpeg image for your custom texture.

3. Upload 2 new images of your developed SketchUp model to your blog; these should show the artists work in their workshop. (IMPORTANT!)

4. Find a short movie (from your own collection or download from YouTube ... www.keepvid.com works quite well) that has something to do with the section, stair, or materiality and your scheme. Embed the video in your blog. (Entirely up to you, think about movement, sequence, camera angles, sight, sound, some of you have used some architectural prcedents perhaps refer to some "architectural dramatisation" videos you can find like this below)

Simple instructions on embedding a video from YouTube in your blog...

Sign up to YouTube. Once you have signed up, upload a video to your account. There's an upload button in the top right corner. Give the video a description and tags (make sure you include "ARCH1101", "EXP1", "2012" and your "Full Name" as the tags), then upload. Once you have completed uploading, you can play the video and look for a "Share or Embed" button. If you click that you will see the code that will allow you to embed the video on your blog. Copy this code.

Then go back to Blogger (make sure you are signed in) and start a new post. Click on the Html button (top left, to the right of the compose button). Paste the YouTube code in there. Write any descriptive text you need in the regular Compose tab. Then publish.
