CORE TOPIC

  • Identify and Define what a graphical model is and its importance to the overall design process. 

ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES

  • Graphical models are used to communicate design ideas 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • This thing is due TODAY!  Make sure you ANNOTATE your drawings -- this means that you need to EXPLAIN what you did, why you did it, and how many spots you added.  These can be in bullets but they have to contain complete thoughts not complete sentences.

HOMEWORK

  • None! 

 

10/15

10/11

ORE TOPIC

  • Identify and Define what a graphical model is and its importance to the overall design process. 

ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES

  • Graphical models are used to communicate design ideas 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • Discuss the different types of GRAPHICAL MODELS from your reading the other day   
  • Now to discuss how to draw...
    • Let's practice with some 2 dimensional drawing -- watch this first:
    • Practice!  Everyone grab a ruler and and a pencil
      • Draw a horizon line
      • Draw a bunch of boxes using the method described above -- try out different shapes/sizes/orientations.  Try it leaving the construction lines and stuff.   
  •  
  • Let's practice the different types of Graphical Models:
    • On one sheet of paper complete the following:
      • Create napkin sketches of 10 items
      • Draw 3 Orthographic sketches of different items.  It must have 3 different views (which ones depend on the object)

 

 

10/8

CORE TOPIC 

  • TOPIC 3.1 -- Identify the importance and use of Conceptual Modelling  
  • TOPIC 3.2 -- Identify and Define what a graphical model is and its importance to the overall design process. 

ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES

  • A conceptual model originates in the mind and its primary purpose is to outline the principles and basic functions of a design or system.  
  • Graphical models are used to communicate design ideas 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

  • Check the homework from last class!
  • Talk about Conceptual modeling! 
    • This is surprisingly complex 
  • The (Codega modified) Marshmallow Challenge
    • You have 18 minutes to create the highest free standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow (which goes on top).
    • We will measure to see who has the highest one that remains standing.
    • Watch the TED Talk about the marshmallow challenge
      •  
    • After the first round we will do it again, but this time you must take 5 minutes to first reflect on what went well and what could be improved and THEN create a NAPKIN sketch of your new design.  After that time you will build it again, this time with only 13 minutes. 
    • We will measure again.  The winning group will be the team that has the highest TOTAL height (remember, only buildings that remain standing will count towards the total) will get the  remaining marshmallows.

HOMEWORK

  • Get your English homework done!
  • Next class we'll talk about GRAPHICAL MODELING
    • Wear some comfortable shoes!
