Students will be able to quickly assess and communicate two-dimensionally the action of the figure through gesture drawing. MO 5. Execute drawings demonstrating communicative potential of the human figure. MO 4. Create drawings that incorporate drapery and costume. MO 3. Develop quick study drawing skills. MO 2. Create drawings that use human proportions. MO 1. Create drawings that capture gesture.
Drawing Fundamentals	ANIM 104	Students will develop an understanding of basic drawing terminology that coordinates with the ANIM 104 curriculum. Create original drawings using design and composition concepts. Draw in a variety of technique. Perceive, comprehend, interpret, and invent imagery Students will be able to create illusions of three-dimensional forms using the rules of light logic. Discuss, analyze, and evaluate personal, contemporary and historical art works and their place in visual and commercial arts using art terminology for content, technique, and style in both written and oral critiques. Synthesize the formal art elements and principles with the observed world in varying compositional formats. Utilize original and creative thinking in projects and writings such as the keeping of a visual and/or written journal. Analyze drawings in oral or written critique using design and composition concepts Observe and analyze individual form as seen volumetrically in space and structure that form as part of the whole pictorial composition. Create sketches and finished drawings which demonstrate the capacity to perceive, comprehend and interpret the three-dimensional world using various media and techniques. Sketch or draw complex objects gesturally as basic or modified basic shapes and form to solve complex composition problems Apply visual concepts of format, negative and positive shapes, form, shadow, light, value and basic linear perspective in drawings.
Fundamentals of Graphic Design	ARTC 100	ARTC 100 students will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of three important design elements: color, shape, and space. ARTC 100 students will produce composites in Photoshop using effective selection techniques and non-destructive editing. Critique graphic design projects based on learned skills and concepts. Present original graphic design projects, explaining and defending the successful usage of learned skills and concepts. Design original commercial art, combining text and images to successfully communicate messages to a target audience. Create thumbnails, sketches, roughs and comprehensives that effectively communicate creative thinking. Operate effectively within small teams to solve typical graphic design problems. Produce composites effectively using Photoshop selection techniques. Employ appropriate technology (hardware, software, and fabrication tools) to produce graphic design projects.
Introduction to 3-D Modeling	ANIM 130	Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce polygonal objects of varying complexity (hard-surface based and organic based) that can be used in games and animation media. Create a complete scene from photographic reference using all acquired 3D modeling techniques. Students will be able to refine the ball?s squash and stretch animation with the Graph Editor. Students will be able to animate a bouncing ball in 3D Computer Graphics, using squash and stretch deformers, create movements to convey gravity and weight of a bouncing ball. Critique polygonal modeling projects based on learned skills and concepts. Plan, organize, and execute large scale modeling projects that include over 200 independent objects. Create UV maps and apply simple textures and materials on hard-surface objects.
Introduction to Gaming	ANIM 131	Students will be able to compare and contrast the following four game types: 1. Shoot-em-ups, 2. First person shooter, 3. Strategy games, 4. Puzzle games The students will be able to use the elements of story by presenting synopses of games utilizing simplicity, consistency, suspense, and fairness. MO1: Demonstrate ability to organize digital assets required for a short game, in a manner that is easy to decipher, and manage. MO2: Demonstrate ability to plan a short game production, and track it through its completion using a simple production planning system. MO3: Demonstrate ability to conceive, design, and create game mechanics for an intended gameplay experience in a computer game. MO6: Demonstrate ability to conceive, design, create art assets, interface with a vendor site, and produce a working board game. MO4: Shows evidence of understanding the need of the game developer to continually communicate with the player. MO5: Shows ability to implement a short game project, including all the aspects of the development: game design, art assets creation, sound design, coding, bug fixing, testing, and create a working build of the game.
Motion Graphics, Compositing and Visual Effects	ANIM 172	Outcome/ Objective Students will demonstrate the animation principles of 'easing in and out' in motion graphics work. Students will demonstrate the ability to create and composite using an alpha channel. Produce motion graphics demonstrating the use of logic and creativity per industry standards. Analyze and evaluate motion graphic projects for content, technique, and design through oral and written critique. Manage project timelines, layers, and compositions for efficient animation. Use software and techniques common to the motion graphics field. Create original motion graphics that synthesize the principles of animation, design, and cinematography appropriate to the field.
Portfolio	ARTC 290	Select, organize and create appropriate portfolio pieces based on discipline. Apply principles of composition and design in portfolio creation.
