A 3D Chinese temple complete with columns and elaborate decoration is not the best subject to use as your first experience of modelling - its a bit complicated BUT...
...after spending the morning getting to grips with the splendidly intuitive professional SketchUp 3D modelling program through the usual task of creating a house and garden, Year 3 then tried their hand at just such an elaborate model...
As usual their work has been saved into school for the boys and girls to continue after the bus has gone.
Whilst the ‘houses’ were individual projects started from a blank page, the computer bus man did offer some support for the temple in the form of a floor plan and step-by-step instructions - including how to make screen shots of Chinese decoration to drag to the model later.
