Course Description		Computer Animation & Modeling is a semester-long introductory course to using 3D Modeling and Animation software, using Blender, an open-source production-level software. We utilize a hands-on curriculum in which we follow the instructor and video demonstrations and video walkthroughs to learn the interface and the basics of modeling, sculpting, and animation and then work towards student independence which may culminate in students pitching and creating a project of their own design before the semester is completed.
Instructional Topic Headings		Career Exploration & Planning; Employability Skills; Orientation to the 3D Workspace & Basic Modeling; Shading, Texturing & UV Mapping; Advanced Modeling Techniques; Sculpting Workflow; Animation & Rigging Enabling Competencies: 1.1 Students will read and complete exercises on the elements of a computer system, how information is represented in computer memory, simple binary/hexadecimal systems and ASCII. Integration Skills: 1.1 Students will create new programs within the framework of the IDE selected for the class. Unit 2.
