The students’ drawings final drawings were animated and projected onto a scaled model of the program’s new building. The workshop culminated with a presentation of the children’s work. If you are familiar or not with Sketchup, this official tutorial with guide you through the process.

Although we haven't tried this, there are lots of tutorials how to do it.

Another way to construct views and scaled model is to use Google Sketchup's photo match feature, which allows users to create architectural 3D drawings by using photos as a reference.

This way it is easier to make a 3D scaled physical model by using them. As you can see in our provided line drawing, we have tried to make them as similar as they can.

One important aspect is that when you are drawing two side views, say front and side elevations, you should try to preserve the scale between them.

This way, it is easier to make the scaled model by using these drawings.

Then with a drawing software, Adobe Illustrator, we traced the lines of the building and make these lines parallel as much as we can.

Then we selected the photo with the best possible view.

You can check what it is like through Google Streetview.

To make the side view illustration, we went to the actual building and take shots with our digital cameras and smartphones.Making the line illustrations of the sides (elevations) of the building To keep the exercise relevant to the students, they were asked to imagine the future of a building that was set to become the future home of their afterschool program. Students were asked to visualize the future for a vacant space in their neighborhood. The second session shifted the focus away from the individual and toward the community.
