Summary:
A committee of high school art teachers and administrators met to revise and update the Mt. Diablo USD course of study for 3D Modeling. High school teachers identified a need for a course that would to expand students’ knowledge of the elements of art, principles of design, and principles of animation as they relate to 3D digital art. 3D Modeling for Design is a 3rd year class in a sequence of animation and design courses. Students enter this class having taken a sequence of animation courses (Introduction to 2D Animation and Intermediate 2D Animation) or the students have completed a sequence of design courses (Design A/B and Art Design Advanced). Many students have also completed Introduction to Engineering, a Project Lead the Way course. 3D Modeling for Design is for students who are interested in the fields of animation, illustration, character modeling, design for video games, motion graphics, industrial design, and architecture. This course also connects and applies art knowledge, skills, and processes within and across other disciplines and careers such as three dimensional medical imaging.
