MACA 1070 - Rendering

Credit Hours: 4.00


Prerequisites: None

(3 credit hrs prior to Fall 2005)

MACA 1070 covers final art rendering techniques in black and white and some color. It familiarizes students with a variety of media and mixed media including markers, prisma pencils, and ink. Problems include analyzing the pattern of reflections, light and shade, and the description of surface development on a variety of materials including chrome, sheetmetal, plastic and glass.

Location: South Campus

Contact Hours: 6
Billable Contact Hours: 6
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to demonstrate observational skills for greater rendering accuracy (value relationships, angles, negative spaces).

Objectives:

  1. Illustrate a value grid.
  2. Reproduce imagery through light and form.
  3. Assess value percentages.
  4. Scale and grid photo reference.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to use indication techniques to stress line, mass, texture, value, color, composition in relation to rendering.

Objectives:

  1. Create highlights.
  2. Create form shadow.
  3. Create cast shadow.
  4. Create core shadow.
  5. Create reflected light.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to render his/her own 3-dimensional products on a 2-dimensional surface.

Objectives:

  1. Exchange textures.
  2. Utilize basic reference.
  3. Design new products.
  4. Complete solid industrial renderings.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to apply light, shadow, texture, and color as it relates to form.

Objectives:

  1. Design a comprehensive rough.
  2. Use visual indication techniques.
  3. Render 3-dimensional shapes.
