3D Modeling and Animation meets the objectives of the Culture and Creativity
distribution category in the General Education program. Students in this course
learn to observe and analyze animations from different cultures at the same
time that they are learning to develop their own 3D computer animations. As
a result, students learn not only the technique, but how to use these technical
skills along with logic and reasoning to respond to their own history and
society. This process of art critique and art making specific to such a vivid
medium creates a meaningful exchange through which identity structures
are understood as linked to culture and cultural products. Two of the four
major projects that support the objectives of the Culture and Creativity category
are the Artist Presentations and Loango lvories project.
