Course DescriptionThis course introduces basic modeling skills that enable students to transition from two-dimensional thinking to three-dimensional form-making. Using materials such as clay, cardboard, wire, and foam, students explore volume, form, texture, and proportion. Projects include packaging, product display units, exhibition elements, and character modeling. The course emphasizes both intuitive and technical approaches to form creation.
