8/26 3DDesign-7

Today was our first full class period.  We started by setting up individual blogs, and then created a demo post with a photo and link to the source of the image. 

The second half of the class was spent introducing the idea of orthographic projection from isometric drawings/models. Hooray for graph paper and rulers! We did the first figure together, then everyone tried the next one on their own. 

Homework is to FINISH THE FIRST FOUR FIGURES, with projection lines in highlighter, labeled appropriately (front, top, right).

Two isometric figure handouts and one example of multi-view orthographic projection.

Lables or Tags on Class Blog Posts

One key to keeping the daily posts organized is to use the appropriate Label or Tag for the post. When you make a new post, you will need to ADD A LABEL.
Find the Labels in the sidebar as you make a new post.

Then type in the correct label for your class: DFab2 or DFab4 or 3D6  - and hit return or select the label.   If you forget to do it when you post, you can edit the post and then update it after you add the label.

 

 If everyone uses the labels appropriately we can click on the correct tag and ONLY see the posts for that class. We can do it! :)

Creating Your Blog

We'll be going over how to set up your blog in class, but here is the screencast how-to for you if you join class during add/drop period for some reason. Here are the steps you need to do (in order, please!)

1. Create your individual blog (follow the screencast directions) while in your ASIJ Google account.
2. Create a blogger profile as necessary (Blogger is better than the G+ id for this)
3. Go to your email and ACCEPT the invitation to the class blog - ASAP please, invitations expire.
4. VIEW the class blog and make sure your name shows up in the sidebar under Contributors

Congratulations! You are ready to blog!

Welcome!

Welcome to the 3D Design & Fabrication Class Blog! 
When we left last spring, this is what the Creative Arts & Design building looked like: 

 Just think about how much work they did over the last couple of months!

Here is the official ribbon cutting ceremony from August 24th.

This blog will be a place of sharing, capturing the adventures of each class this year as the projects unfold.  Each class, one student will be responsible for posting photos from the days work, as well as a brief recap of what we did and what the homework is for the next class.  

Today is a short (30 minute) class, so we'll be meeting each other, going over classroom expectations, assessment parameters (3D Design) and emergency exit information. Here is the link to the handout for 3D Design assessment that I gave out in class and will provide parents at Back To School Night on September 17th. (The assessment handout for Design & Fabrication will be handed out shortly.)

You will each also have your own individual blog, where you will document your projects, weekly progress, and reflect on that work.  Once the blogs are set up, I'll create a tab so you can all access the blogs of your classmates for sharing and comments.   Let's learn from each other!
