9 Exploring Technologies
Unit: 3D Modelling/Animation
Project: Post Card Composition


Objective: In this unit project students will be introduced to basic sketching techniques, composition and modelling 3D forms. Students will create a Post Card of a scene that has a snowman, trees, a small chalet/hut,
valleys, signage, and a picket fence. Students are open to artistic interpretations based on their own ideas; they do NOT have to copy Mr. Balian’s exemplar scene at all.
