Course material

Learning materials
– Lectures and demonstrations with accompanying downloadable documentation for reference.
– Downloadable Work sheets and exercises
– Links and tutorials on Learn.

Study forms and methods

You will attend classes according to the given schedule. In addition to class exercises, there will be independently assigned homework tasks.

If you have a comparable previous academic achievement (i.e., a higher education-level course completion), have studied for a year in, for example, a folk high school, and have work samples to present, or if you have skills equivalent to or exceeding the course level, for example, through work experience and have a portfolio to show, you may seek to have the course accredited. However, you must first discuss this with the course instructor.

RDI and work-related cooperation

RDI will be intergrated where possible

Timing of exams and assignments

Deadlines:
– In order to benefit from the dedicated feedback
sessions students must have at least partially completed the assignments
on review at that time.
– If a student misses the deadline for an
assignment feedback session, no assurance of feedback at a later date
can be given. Current works take precedence.
– If a student can not achieve a required deadline the lecturer must be informed and an extension will be negotiated.
– Unauthorised late return of course assignments will have an effect on final grading. (Between 1 and 2 points deducted)

Student workload

In class, student will complete instructive exercises and then receive feedback to deepen their expertise.
Students will also complete assignments independently or in groups outside of class.

Course part description

The student will create a series of drawings demonstrating the following skills:
One point Perspective
Two point perspective
Use of Line thicknesses to define spacial relationships
Mirroring techniques
Transferring points
Basic anatomy block out and the human skeleton

Further information

Further information
– Demonstrations and lectures provide relevant theoretical content.
– Students complete a series of drawing based assignments independently with the help of instructions provided on Learn.
– Students will receive dedicated feedback sessions on their assignments at regular intervals
– Students will deepen their expertise in the use of colour within the perspective of game design.
