My first project, a car.

1.For my first project, i decided to make my own car. It was actually more difficult than i thought it was going to be. Cars are not box shaped, they're round and have different kinds of shapes all over, and it was just very difficult to create really good detail on difficult surfaces. plus this is my first time using goodle sketchup in 2 years so there are some things i definitely forgot how to do. hopefully as this class goes on and i make more projects i will be able to imporve my skills and make much better and cooler looking objects with more detail. i was not able to meet every requirment because i am not as well educated with google sketchup as i thought i was and tried to make a difficult project too soon.

2. this project relates to creativity and innovation because i had a very creative and cool idea to make my own car and make it look almost exactly alike. there were some things i really struggled with but i was able to put some important detail on my car to show that it was a pearl green Subaru legacy and it was awd. i was also able to create the door handles and make them look exactly like the ones on my car and finally i was able to make the headlights and backlights look exactly like the headlights and backlights on my car! hopefully if i have time at the end of this semester and i am more educated with google sketchup i can go back and try to finish and improve my little car.

3. From this project, i learned that it is very hard to create windows and lights and stuff on round surfaces. its hard to make you lines arc around your surface just right enough to create a sunroof or a window...so i did as well as i could and i had to get rid of the sunroof and i had to make some of my surfaces on my car flat even though they are actually round. however you cant really tell so it doesn't look bad. I also learned that i do not know as much about sketchup as i should and that i need to start simpler and work my way to the top as i learnt through this semester.

4. For this project, i am mostly proud of the fact that even though things went wrong and there were lots of really difficult things in my way, i still kept trying and pushing myself to finish and do as best as i possibly could. i am also proud that i found ways around my obsticals.

5. oh there are definitely lots of ways i could improve this project, for one i could learn how to draw objects on curved surfaces so that i could really make my car look detailed and correct. also i could learn how to curve the edges of my car so that it actually looks like a car and not a square with a rounded top. i could also learn how to make the detail on my car look sharper and not so messy and ugly. also i could probably learn to scale my car better. i noticed looking at the car and looking at the actual picture that it wasnt shapped exactly the way i wanted it to be.
