Intro to 3D Design & Animation is a full year course in the foundations of art. Every successful artist must first learn how to see like one. We will use a variety of proven artistic, perceptual, and professional strategies to help you learn and create effective designs. You will learn how to use computer tools with confidence and efficiency. We will work in teams to help one another do the best we can in this course-no one struggles alone. We will communicate by written, verbal, and visual means to build a foundation of learning and professionalism. Your progress will be tracked through a sketchbook and portfolio, and your grades will be based on completing artwork on time, applying your skills creatively, using design elements, craftsmanship, and meeting project requirements.
