Courses

This course allows the student to design and produce a project suitable for digital animation, 3D design, or game development. Emphasis is placed on creating an original concept, storyboarding, and post-production processing. The student will document each stage of the project’s development. The project will be presented for critique and evaluation at each of the developmental stages.

Fundamental concepts in pottery and ceramics. Basic techniques in production and free form ceramics to include introduction to hand-building, wheel throwing, and glazing/firing techniques.
