Class Experience

This class is for students that are interested in making cool stuff. that can be used in video games, animated movies, or 3D printing. Students will learn the basic principles and tools used for 3D modeling. 

During this class, students will use Blender to learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling. We will cover vocabulary terms and discuss the different parts that make up a 3D shape (edges, faces, and vertices). We will learn Blender's tools, how to navigate in a 3D space, and how to create, move, rotate, scale objects, and modify objects by using the bevel, extrude, inset, and loop cut tools. Students will then put those concepts to use by modeling a spaceship alongside the teacher.

Students are encouraged to ask and answer questions and help each other with problem-solving as they work on their spaceships. Students are encouraged to share their creations at the end of class. 
Classes sizes are kept small so that individual instruction can be given to each student as needed during each session.

Learning Goals

My goal is to introduce students to 3D modeling in a fun and interactive environment.
Students will learn to create move, rotate, scale, and add modifiers to shapes while learning to navigate in a 3D space. They will be introduced to the various 3D tools we use to sculpt our spaceship. 

Breaking objects down into basic shapes
Developing an eye for scale and proportion. 
Thinking creatively
