Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course is an introduction to the representation of form through modeling in three-dimensional software. The course focuses on the development of visual and verbal vocabulary as a means of exploring, developing, and understanding composition with digital geometry and in virtual spaces. Topics include the basics of lines, planes, contour, transforming lines into form, composing images with a software camera, interaction of light and surface color, lighting, perspective, resolution of geometry, and rendering. Perception and visual thinking are emphasized in the development of projects. Projects will include modeling organic and inorganic forms, composition with multiples, level of detail in the models, and creation of spaces. Structured assignments develop skills in concept generation, basic form making, and craftsmanship. (Corequisite 2014-231) Credit 4
