PRDE 1710 - Fundamentals of Clay Modeling

Credit Hours: 4.00

Objectives: Using the surfacing techniques in clay modeling the learner will:

1. Develop a high quality surface in the given time.
2. Build a model with the techniques given in the time allowed.
3. Identify the difference between poor and high quality surface in the time allowed.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will capture 2D to 3D relationship in clay modeling.

Objectives: Using the 2D to 3D relationship in clay modeling the learner will:

1. Identify sections in the time given.
2. Build an armature in the given time allowed.
3. Build a 3D model from a 2D drawing in the time allowed.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will build and effectively use clay modeling tools.

Objectives: Identifying the industry tools, the learner will:

1. Identify proper tools in the given time.
2. Build a basic set of tools in the time allowed.
3. Demonstrate proper technique of tools in the time given.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate symmetry in clay modeling.

Objectives: Using symmetry in clay modeling the learner will:

1. Demonstrate dragging tools to mirror in the time allowed.
2. Identify cross sections templates from 2D drawings in the given time.
3. Develop a symmetrical model in the time given.

Outcome 5: Upon completion of this course, students demonstrate scale in clay modeling.

Objectives: Demonstrating scale in clay modeling the learner will:

1. Demonstrate an ability to visualize a scale model
2. Identify the proper measurements and techniques to create a scale model
3. Develop accurate size and proportioning in a scale model
