ART 247 - Lighting and Rendering KCC AA/DA

Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

6hours lecture/lab per week Prerequisite(s): ART 223D Computer Graphics II with a grade of "C" or higher; approval of the Lighting and Rendering entrance portfolio review or acceptance into a NMA AS specialization.Comment: ART 247 may not be audited. ART 247 is a studio course to explore ways to use lighting, texturing, and rendering to enhance mood and character in the 3D digital environment. Emphasis will be placed on developing an aesthetic criteria for evaluation. Upon successful completion of ART 247, the student should be able to: Analyze lighting design: modeling with light, visual function of shadows, use of color, control of exposure, and use those principles to create strong compelling compositions. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the perspective of 3D models and the resulting effects of projected light sources in shadow, color, shade, texture, and atmospheric effects. Apply the concepts and techniques of cinematography, photography, and traditional visual arts to achieve convincing reality and atmosphere in the 3D digital world. Demonstrate skills to use digital lighting for the purpose of storytelling and visual communication. Experiment with a wide range of styles from photo-realistic to painterly to cartoon-style. Analyze and demonstrate the methods of rendering, how to control renders, and how to render for the desired effect. Use problem-solving strategies to complete the creative process from concept development through revisions to final output. Use the vocabulary of 3D lighting and rendering as well as the language of art to critically evaluate final rendered compositions and to aid in the integration of the technological skill with an aesthetic criterion. Apply the visual elements of line, shape, value, color, texture, space, time, and motion as well as the design principles of balance, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, variation, repetition, and unity in digital projects. Work effectively as a team member to achieve creative decisions. Demonstrate strong group communication skills and the ability to speak clearly during critiques. Write about and defend the conceptual merits of work produced for the course.
