Students: You will work through the following exercises during the 2 hour tutorial. Exercise 6 below is the beginning of an assignment that you will work on this week and next week. 

Exercise 1: Points and Lines                                                                        
Draw some points in Rhino. Assign points to grasshopper point component. Draw lines between points with Line AB component.

Exercise 2: Slider                                                                                          
Draw a circle in Grasshopper. Control the radius with a slider

Exercise 3: Division & Multiplication                                                          
Draw a rectangle in Grasshopper. Control the length of one parallel set of edges with a slider. Set the length of the other parallel set of edges as a ratio of the length of the slider controlled edges.

Exercise 4: Divide a Curve                                                                          
Draw a curve. Divide the curve into an amount of sections defined by a slider. Place a sphere at each division point.

Exercise 5: Loft Curves                                                                                
Draw two curves in Rhino and loft them in Grasshopper. Move the control points of these curves in Rhino and see how the loft responds.

Exercise 6: Assignment  1, part 1                                                                                
Create a 3D representation of your first initial. Be creative! J
The outcome of this exercise will be developed further in next week’s tutorial.

Exercise 7: Play!
If you finish the other exercises, just explore and play and see what you can make in Grasshopper.
