Assignment A - water sketchup and reading


Land Literacy: Spring 2011
Catherine Page Harris
 For Barry Lopez reading, go to e-reserves for this class.  You can search under my name.  It doesn't load very legibly here.
Assignment:  Sketch up
Use one of the “a” entries in Lopez’ Home Ground to create an exploration in Sketch-up.  You could start with the form of the word or with its meaning and the land forms or phenomena described.  Please choose a word relating to our current interest, water.
You are not constrained by size as this is developed in virtual space, but you should be able to turn it in on an 8 ½”  x 11” sheet of paper.
There is no requirement for photographic realism, though you can use Photoshop, V-ray and or other programs to add photographic detail.  See http://www.ronenbekerman.com/sketchup-vray-from-start-to-finish-by-omar-estevez/#comments for some tips on photo realism.
For help with Sketch Up, you can look on You-tube where many videos have been posted.
