A virtual class using Zoom and video lessons. This class is about an individual vision of a home, house or a place where we live. We will discuss an etymology of a word “home”, how a human shelter evolved over centuries and most importantly what your definition of home is. We will create simple sketches that will be translated into a 3D model. Students will be introduced to the 3D modeling program, Sketchup and learn its basics. We will have a simple exercise to accustom you to the tools and then you will start modeling your very own vision of home that you previously sketched and that you carry in your heart. Requirements: Personal Computer and mouse.
