Reflection Strength: ●
Learned how to use basic functions
such as…. 1.
Be able to create flat square in custom size.
2.
Successfully used “push” function to give volume.
3.
Made out the windows by using “guide line” function.
4.
Used coloring bucket to put up colors on the elements.
5.
Bring out the component from the 3D Warehouse.
6.
Save the scene as 2D graphic to make it as jpg file in order to upload in the issuu.com
●
Explored the Sketchup.
Challenges: ●
It took a long time to figure out how to do guidelines and I need to work more on it to get better of using it.
●
I also need to work on color selection because I was not really good at designing and confused of what color would fit great.
Risk ● ● ● d-Dd dd dd
Took a lot of my times to work on it. confused of the axes. Almost lost during the lecture because my slow hands.
Week 2
Crazy cube arrays in space
Learning portfolio #2 9/25/2015
Rapid Visualization
Reflections Strengths: •
Successfully create cube, transformed it into a component, replicated multiple times to create this complex array.
•
Zoomed into the array, turned my shadows on, and place several human figures for scale to create a dramatic shot.
Challenges: •
I need to learn how to use rapid visualization techniques to hand draw something similar to what I produced in Sketchup.

“FOLLOW ME” AND STAIRS
Learning portfolio#3 August 27, 2015
“FOLLOW ME” DETAIL VIEW PLAN VIEW
Perspective view
Reflections Strength: •
Created the well balanced circle in the place where I wished and used the “follow me” button to make the object having a shape of circle.
•
On one successfully created object, drew another well balanced circle and created the line that I wanted to put and then I went straight forward to my “Follow me” button to create one more object that follows the circles.
Challenges: •
I will need to practice more on making another followed-object not just the circles and also on how I create the lines.
Risk -Too many buttons in the solid Tool bar that I had to find where the function I am looking for. -hesitated at the moment if I was doing right.
MAKING THE STAIRS DETAILS
PLAN VIEW IN PERSPECTIVE
PLAN VIEW
Reflection Strength: •
Size up and draw the rectangular on the ground to create base object for the stairs.
•
Copy and paste the same rectangular to be placed and formed a stair above on a first object
•
Risk
Learned to make a component and create multiple more same rectangular to be stairs.
•
Add more on it and create a better form model using rotation, colors etc.
Challenges: •
More effort on rotate the things and also prepare to create various forms of stairs later. And never lose the will to practicing hand drawing.
-Rotate the stairs into the wrong way. -Drove out my stairs underground.
Week 3
Floor Pattern
Learning Portfolio #4 9/1/2015
Stripe basic floor plan
Checkerboard floor plan
Latin style floor plan
polka dot floor plan #1
polka dot floor plan#2
oblique basic line floor plan
Reflection Strength:
●
No mistakes or problem in creating houses by using push function.
●
I used layer function to hide the front wall of the house and later the other houses to picture out one house.
●
I figured out how I should draw out patterns in the floor for I did not know how to use Sketchup yet.
●
I learned by myself how to create circles or dot patterns or even oblique patterns.
●
First animation ever and it looks great.
Challenges:
●
I have to become more creative to come up with different ideas except for all those things. Hand drawing is really good when it comes with putting out the ideas. So I will need to make sure to bring notebook anywhere to get the ideas. More times and efforts need for me to build a basic house. Be sure to know the sizes and construction.
Risk -Sometimes got a headache for figuring out the patterns. -Getting so sensitive

REFLECTION Strength:
●
Learned to draw the circles and how it can create different shapes of all.
●
Remembered to show the processes.
●
I was able to set up many scenes for my animation and it became better than floor pattern animation because of practices and efforts.
●
Successfully made out 9 scenes and 9 layers.
Challenges:
●
More understanding on follow me skills and rotating. Since observation is really important when we do inspired work, I should be more careful on create and erasing the lines that I don’t need. With one stupid mistake I would be

Week 4
Malevich Inspired Construction
Learning Portfolio #6 9/8/2015 9/10/2015
Front perspective view
Back perspective view
Placed of red color in main structure to point that it is inspired by Malevich’s work. Light pink and white color match up perfectly on red color and makes it more naturally observed by people.
Plan view
DETAIL VIEW ONE BY ONE
One of the parts that inspired by Malevich
Changing of original form to make it fancier.
5’ deck to give more detail and transparency window in checkerboard form.
Reflection Strength: ● ● ● ●
Being able to use x-ray function to copy the lines of original work. Successfully added up more details such as in previous page. Learned how to use “divide” and made a transparent windows in checkerboard form. Bring out the background picture to give better look.
Challenges: ● ● ●
Perspective view with Half Moon bay background
I see my weakness in choosing of colors and it must be improved. Play with Sketchup more times to get done the detail work. The skills of placing trees and use of 3d warehouse model should be developed in order to create beautiful scene overall.
Week 5
Generic Wall Type
Learning Portfolio #7 9/15/2015
Rapid Visualization
Reflection Strength: ●
Be able to construct simple walls and transform them into a different shapes so that I can create various walls.
●
Successfully used “‘offset” form or “push” tool to give a differentiate.
●
Also found out the usage of “divide” in efficient way.
●
Made a dorm shape and intersect it with other element.
Challenges: ●
Sometimes wall came out to be weirdly that when I erase up the specific line it would erase up everything. I think it is because of how I didn’t really be organized and neat in draw out the element.
●
I need to break out from the straight thinking and have to be in a more creative way.

Transformation of original square through intersection with four small squares. The original square intersects with cone shape creating a space where person actually can get in.
The Patterned glasses around the empty spaces make them looks like windows.
Second transformation
Third Transformation Designed like plantarium
Transformation with cylinder + dome shape.
Transformation with Hexagonal cylinder + cone shape.
Reflection Strength:
●
I learned how to use “intersect” function to successfully combine two different models into one form.
●
Be able to make different shapes of things such as dome, sphere, cone, hexagonal cylinder, and cylinder.
●
I think there was improvement using the shadows to play around
RISK
the model.
-Sometimes blew out whole thing because of mistaken lines.
Challenges:
●
I should be more creative to play around all different shapes so that when I become professional architect, I can use all the shapes to figure out what I am trying to make.

Six different transformations
Reflection Strength:
●
I was able to combine more objects freely than before.
●
Learned to see other aspects.
●
I also realized what I will need to combine by transformation the two things in order to create what I
Positive factors
designed.
-I can form up the different types of objects such are very unique and unusual.
Challenges:
●
There were some empty spaces I erased up for mistakes and it needs to be improved.

More practices requiring for dramatic viewing.
-Getting more into the Sketchup.
Paper Airplane Floatilla
Learning Portfolio #10 9/24/2015
Perspective view
Details & analyzation
Front view The little gap brings out the detail of the real paper airplane. the lines above show the steps of folding the thing as same as we do to paper when we want to create airplane.
The gray tone fogs hiding the back low airplanes almost into invisible status. It gives more sensation like a reality by how shadows and fogs are combining together forming a different view.
Reflection Strength: ●
Started from the rectangular flat shape, succeed in creating the airplanes by folding up step by step.
●
Duplicate the first airplanes and placed them as a triangular formation to be shown as more dramatic.
●
Learned to use fog function and placed the gray tone fog.
Positive factors: -I can also create something that I can also fold with paper. -I started to think creatively how I can create the thing that I want.
Challenges: ●
Have fun with fogs to create different views.
●
I should be practicing on folding without Jerry’s help.
Week 7

View at a glance
Reflection Strength: ●
Successfully folded the rectangles to create same sizes of rooftops.
●
Learned to elevated each of them so that rooftops are aligned in a size where person can go through.
●
I made columns that support the rooftops and change their shapes with using “scale” function.
●
Placed the Steve in a best place where shadow is perfectly fit and captured it out making the best shot.
Challenges: ●
More practice is needed to fold the things in a way that I would like to do so.
●
I will play around more with scale tool so I can figure out more columns different than what I made.
Folding Simple Lattice Panel
Learning Portfolio #11 10/1/2015
Bus stop with folding simple lattice panel
Art gallery with folding simple lattice panel
Reflection Strength: ● Was able to understand folding function better than before. ● Successfully created lattice panel by folding and offset the edges to create empty spaces of the panel. ● Played around with 3d warehouse which can decorate my lattice panel and make a visualization of my imagined space usage. Challenges: ● Do more of activities on using fold function to draw my visualization in Sketchup more efficiently. ● Draw out more ways in my head to transport the lattice panel.

ISO
Reflection Strength: ●
Knew more about how to fold the things and create other things with it.
●
I realized that I can also put up harder and bigger columns that can support them just like a bridge with a roofs.
●
Choose the best routine to make my scene for best animation, and succeed it.
●
Also successfully made out the door in columns so that person can go or see through it.
●
Learned to change the styles and used background and ground section of style function to change the sky and ground color. (tried to express the sunset)
Challenges: ●
New to experiencing how to make fence out of follow me tool and I need more practice.
Plan view in perspective ●
Use more in style section to create different views with sketchy or watercolor themes.
