Game Design Pathway

Animation and Simulation

11.4290000 Students completing this course will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles used at every stage of the game creation process. First, game genres and modes of play are explored in terms of the psychology of incentives, motivation to play, and social networking. Next, virtual characters and non-player characters are reviewed from concept drawing to 2D and 3D art, rigging, and animation. Next, level design, storytelling, and animation are added to develop a virtual world around the characters.

In Principles and Concepts of Animation, students will continue to develop and implement aesthetics of color selection, storyboarding in 2-D digital animation, and develop animatic creations from 2-D to 3-D. Students in this course will learn interface tools, the use of drawing tools, animating the camera, importing images from web sources and files, working with sound and lip syncing, understanding paths and motion design, and frame by frame animation creation relative to sequence planning and pacing. This course will allow students to explore more advanced aspects of character animation including subtle character gesture and advanced action timing with emphasis on personal observation. The course will allow students to develop an understanding of basic sound considerations such as lip syncing, voice-overs, and the synchronization of sound with the visual product. This course will allow students to build on previously learned storyboarding skills, develop scripts, determine character motivations, consider setting and motion variables, and learn other unique traits of animation through integrated activities.

The course serves as an introduction to the Animation pathway. Students will learn the basice components of 2D and 3D animation development. Software includes Adobe Suite, Toon Boom and Maya.

In this course students will continue working in 2-D and 3-D environments by importing 3-D models while working in 3-D space morphing, and inverse kinematics. While learning the basics of Game and APP design, the students will acquire knowledge of human and animal animations, apply the aesthetic and technical aspects of animation of characters, and analyze the physics and physicalization of action, weight, and timing. The course advances students’ knowledge of sound integration into animated products; by focusing on skills that include lip-syncing, voice overs, and synchronization. Portfolio development will include animation reels and other products.

British Literaturer 1223.0520001

Advanced Comp H 23.0340040 Y 12 English 9,10, 11 This year-long, one credit course develops an understanding of sophisticated composition skills.

This course focuses on the study of British literature, writing modes and genres, and essential conventions for reading, writing, and speaking. The students develop an understanding of chronological context and the relevance of period structures in British literature. The students develop an understanding of the ways the period of literature affects its structure and how the chronology of a work affects its meaning. The students encounter a variety of informational and literary texts and read texts in all genres and modes of discourse. While the continued focus is expository writing in Britishliterature, the student will also demonstrate competency in a variety of writing genres.

In piano class, students will learn the basics of reading music, scales, sight reading, rhythm & playing. Students will be tested on concepts learned during their time in class and given time to individually practice each assignment. There is no experience needed to join the class, but for those that are experienced, performance opportunities are available, but not required.
