- Expand skillset to incorporate ZBrush modeling, sculpting, and texturing workflows into art production techniques.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TASK 1 - Jamboard - Goals Project continued.

- Page 1 of the Jamboard must include your original digitally scanned artwork, both front and back pages

- Page 2 - Display your digitally colored version, from Task 4 last week.

- Page 3 - TYPE a list of the goals that you wrote on the paper document, and a brief explanation of why that goal is important to you.

Also, reflect on the SVAH Pathway Outcomes (Creative Innovator, Collaborative Leader, Critical Thinker and Effective Communicator). Consider which of the four Pathway Outcomes is your strongest area, and which one requires the most growth this semester.  Then, write a brief description of those features and what strategies you might employ to achieve growth in a Pathway Outcome.

TASK 2 - Film Study, DOGONAUTS

Please submit your typed document as a PDF file via Schoology for credit.


TASK 3 - Introduction to ZBrush, Anatomy Cube

We will explore the interface, demo files, saving & exporting projects, as well as introduce some basic 3D modeling and sculpting techniques that will be valuable in future lessons and animation productions.

ANATOMY CUBE 

Using a cube as the starting point, model all of the human anatomical features shown (an ear, a nose, lips, and an eye) on different sides of the cube.  Then, carve your full name onto the top face of the cube, and today's date onto the bottom face.
