FREEHAND SKETCHES

SKETCHES IN PROJECTS

   In the development of a design, once the challenge (the need) to be solved, in order to study the possible solutions and choosing one of them, we must make as freehand drawings (sketches) as necessary, until deciding which of them will serve us as a start to carry  out our project.

   We get started with a first idea:

   That we´ll be refine, in more details, better drawn, with approximate measurements, deciding materials...:

   We collect and compare all together:

   And we decide which is the best one to work with. In our green vehicle case, one of them with wheels and the other without them:

 

WORKSHOP - PROJECT #1

PROJECT # 1

OUR GREEN CAR (MOVED BY AIR)

     This is going to be our first project in the workshop. The design will depend on you and your imagination (the image is only a little bit of help).

     Each group has to make two diferent vehicles: one with wheels and another one without wheels. But both have to be green.

     This project begins drawing several sketches and finishes making a workshop layout of your final works. I´ll bring you all the materials that appear in the image, so the rest depends on you.

     Here we´ll publish the best projects of them and a video of the races we´ll organize in class with your selected prototypes.

WHY RECYCLED MATERIAL AT THE WORKSHOP

OUR ENVIRONMENT

   If you want to know why we´ll use recycled material at the workshop, watch these videos:

To finish, something serious as well, but from a funnier point of view.

You are able to sing it.

WORKING WITH TOOLS

KNOWING OUR TOOLS AT THE WORKSHOP

   We´ll start to work with several tools at our workshop.
   Each group has its own tool panel and we all have this poster on the wall, with pictures of tools that are used at the workshop, with their names included:

   As you know, this new task is to make a table of tools using the writing software in the computers of the class (Libreoffice / Openoffice).

   Remember that have to be included:

     - A picture of the tool.

     - Its name in Spanish and in English.

     - A short description of its use.

     - All the tools you have on your particular panel, in the beginning of the table. It´s the way I have to be sure that it´s a brand new table done this curse.

Here you have a document that can help you with the vocabulary.

   Don´t forget to upload the document to your Drive and link it from a new post in your blog.

VIDEO ABOUT RULES AT THE WORKSHOP

BASIC SAFETY AND HYGIENE RULES AT THE WORKSHOP

CREATING A VOKI (VOLUNTARY TASK)

     AN ADVISE BY YOUR VOKI

     This new task is to create a VOKI into your blog, which gives advice on "SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE USE ON THE NETWORK". It is an image we can retouch, that moves the eyes by sliding the mouse and to whom we can give voice.
      Watch and listen to the example we have in this class blog.

    IMPORTANT!

     - Para empezar a usar el programa, utiliza únicamente la opción gratuita. Ésta sólo te permitirá usar algunos modelos y algunas opciones de caracterización, pero no importa, usa alguna de ésas.
     Sigue el siguiente proceso:
1.- Pincha en el dado varias veces, hasta que te salga un personaje que no tenga ninguna restricción y te pueda valer (no uses ninguno con una banda azul en su esquina superior izquierda o con la estrella dorada)
2.- Personaliza tu personaje, caracterizándolo y, desde el teclado, escribiendo el texto completo para realizar la tarea pedida (asegúrate de marcar el idioma "English". Cuando lo termines pulsas "Done" y después "Publish". Te aparecerá la siguiente pantalla, donde escribes un título y vuelves a pinchar en "Save"

4.- Te aparacerá la siguiente imagen, donde seleccionamos el enlace desde la opción marcada:

     - To insert it into the blog, we have to create a new Gadget (Gadget imagen), where we´ll include a cut .jpg of our character and, linked, our VOKI URL, so that the appearance of our work is similar to the one in the class blog. Don´t forget the headline ADVICES ABOUT USING ON THE INTERNET.

LET´S GO! It´s easier than looks like!.
