To Sketchup or not to Sketchup?

I have to admit, I'm not so sure about what I am going to do for my final perspective drawing. We have to draw our chair in some type of environment. I'm trying to decide if I should emphasize the meaning of my chair (and my relationship with my mother) through its surroundings, or if I should go for the opposite and make the environment totally surreal or completely unrelated to the chair in terms of content. I was also thinking about something one of the other students said about the chair top opening up like a flower. That could lead to something interesting. The other option for the final piece is to create it using Google Sketchup. Right now that seems a little intimidating given that a majority of my chair, as I have said before, isn't square. It also isn't totally circular either... I'll try it and see what happens!

  1. Do some sketches of the options you outlined. Then play around a little in Google Sketch-up so you at least remember some of the stuff Dick showed you. Then you can make a decision on which direction to take. Sometimes it is harder getting a new computer program to do what you want, however, sometimes that leads to interesting solutions.
