Term 1 and 2

I enjoyed learning the basics of how to draw 3D shapes. When we were drawing the cubes in our sketchbooks I thought that the cubes we ended up using on the isometric dots looked quite strange without the dots behind it. We drew all kinds of sizes when drawing the cubes these sizes were 1x1 2x2 3x3 4x4 and 5x5. I also liked shading the cubes. I found this quite easy.

I liked drawing my 3D city because with the help of some friends and my sheet of all the different houses we had to draw on our city. I think I came up with a pretty good finish. I put my houses in first and worked the roads around them. This is my 3D city:



I also had to draw a 3D house. The size of my house was 5x5 and it is shaded red and purple. I found putting the windows and doors on my house was the hardest part of this project. Because I had to remember that later on in the year we would be making a side, rear and front views of our houses. This is my 3D house:



I also had to create a replica of my house on google sketch up. I am ot very confident with this program but I think that my house is nearly the same as the original. Here is my google sketch up house:



I also had to make a replica of my house as a 3D model. We had to create a net and stick it all together. I had trouble sticking together my net. Here is a photo of my model:

I also had to draw views of my house. We had to draw 2 side views, 1 rear view and 1 front view.I used my 3D house model to help me get the correct views of the house. These are my house views:

This is my Choco box. I had to make a poster and a net of a new chocolate bar that I thought everyone would buy. My chocolate bar is called Rocky rumble. It is like rocky road but it is in a long bar. I think that people will buy my chocolate bar because the colours and effects that I used to decorate my box were colourful and the smudgy effects look good. This is a photo of my Choco box:
