Description: Perspective techniques for creating depth illusion as applied to principles of 3D modeling and animation. Study of converging lines, vanishing points, overlapping planes



MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Student will understand appropriate systems of horizon line and vanishing points. (I)
2. Student will understand the importance of using the perspective center, converging lines and grid systems to measure object size and distance, and how these relate to a 3D modeling for animation. (I)
3. Student will develop ability to sketch geometric shapes, man made objects and simple natural shapes using perspective. (II)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
