Description

This course is suitable for students working at the higher end of the curriculum, who would like to do one of the following options:

  1. Work on a film idea they're developing - possibly from another class (scripting, storyboarding, filming or editing!)
  2. Work on their independent drawing skills, following through the 'DrawABox' course with Richard
  3. Work on digital art for a portfolio, possibly relevant to their post-high school studies

Note that while these options don't have to be credit-based (you could make your own music video, without doing it for credits, for example), a high standard of work output will still be expected from students enrolled in the class. You'll be expected to share your progress with me regularly and seek feedback; this isn't a supervised SDL slot. :)

In this class, we currently have students who are:

  • Collaborating on making an animation based on a text
  • Setting up a website to showcase their photography
  • Learning how to do 3d sculpting
  • Making a film based on a board game
  • Making a film based on a text
  • Learning drawing fundamentals through drawabox.com
  • Working on a portfolio for their application to uni
  • Learning the ins and outs of photoshop and illustrator

Please be aware that this class only runs for two out of the three slots each week in Red: anyone enrolled in this class will also be enrolled in an SDL slot for Red on Wednesdays, so you'll have to sign in to SDL as usual on those days. You should also negotiate with your HBLA how you will be spending this time appropriately - I can give you lots of advice on this!
