This class is suitable for any experience level. Students will learn the valuable skills of planning and execution of the digital creatives giving them the valuable insight into the self discipline required to become a successful and skilled artist in today’s world.
Week 3 ~ Sketch Your Imagination
This program is perfect if you already sketch and draw but really want to level up your skills. We will teach you the way forward by studying & learning Art Fundamentals like Anatomy, Perspective, Form, Values, Composition & color theory we can improve our sketches so that our concepts look more understandable and realistic. The purpose of sketches are to discover and flesh our our own ideas and concepts. We can then refine the ideas, colors, environments for our characters or ideas so that they communicate our intention to the viewers. Sketching from from our imagination will have a series of exercises designed to instil the creative development process. Once we have a personal process for our own digital artwork production we can grow and adapt it as required. Having that foundation is an important part of not being lost in the clouds of ideas.

Week 4 ~ 3D Architecture
This class will be a unique study adventure for students wishing to learn about building 3d architecture. From simple houses to multi-story buildings. Every green screen shot needs environment/3d Models to match/fill the scene in films and tv productions . If games are more you style then look at the complex 3D cities of some of your favourite games.
In this workshop we will be creating some basic scenes to learn about the modelling process. We will begin modelling a small house with rooms and internal structures and progress to a subway scene and a large city. We will then look at textures and lighting the scene before rendering it as a digital image worthy of your portfolio. If you want to make your own scenes for movies of games with VFX this is the place to begin. Students will also be introduced to stock 3D websites that will help fill out their scenes with Creative Commons content.
