Animal and Creature Animation

You will create animations that mimic real and stylized animal locomotion. Realistic creature rigs and animal reference will be analyzed to understand movement and muscles. You will apply research and physics to block and animate a quadruped. (This course is cross-listed with ANM 627.)

Advanced Landscape Graphics

Landscape architects use digital renderings to communicate with everyone involved in a project. You’ll learn to use the same state-of-the-art modeling and rendering software that the pros use to explore and communicate ideas at any scale. (This course is cross-listed with LAN 679.)

Advanced Voice and Speech

Explore contemporary texts as you sharpen your approach to speech and embodying language vocally. Deepen your practice of Freeing the Natural Voice and refine and polish your articulation skills. Learn to take vocal risks and make intentional speech choices that will distinguish from peers in the industry.

Learning to Talk About Art

Learn to engage your students’ critical thinking in a variety of settings. As part of your required fieldwork, you’ll gain experience leading engaging discussions about art in classrooms, museums, or community settings.

Model Making – Fall

The ability to communicate your design ideas in quick and accurate ways is a valuable skill. Through design and modeling projects, you will learn to make design models for industrial design evaluation.

Vector, Matrices,and Transformations

Matrix operations are used to perform transformations such as translations, rotations, and scale. Using the mathematics of 3D vectors—including dot and cross product applications—you’ll learn to solve linear systems with matrices.

Hard Surface Modeling 2

Concentrate on NURBS modeling. You’ll learn to convert NURBS models into polygon models and explore the differences between polygonal and NURBS modeling. (This course is cross-listed with ANM 412.)
