My shape is a yellow cylinder. At first, I was having difficulty with getting the right measurement of the figure, especially the diameter of the circular top and bottom. Finally I realized the input asked for radius instead of diameter, so my mistake was I put the wrong number and the diameter became double the original size. Overall, I think I am satisfied with my end result. My model of a castle remind me a lot about my childhood hobby when I was little kid, I always puzzled up Lego pieces into a house or some kind of castle. However, I think my model look more like a rocket rather than castle, I decided not to revise anything because it’s simply abstract to look at first glance and abstraction is one of the most important essence of art sometime. For recommendations, I will definitely say practice a lot with the program you are working with, I have some difficulties with Sketchup sometimes and it’s frustrating. For example, I hate the “rotating” feature, because it’s very confusing. It’s a double step technique, in which you have to find the right angle and axis you want to rotate the object along. After some practices, I think it’s a simple program that can do so many things!
