Graphic Design

3D Motion Graphics introduces 3-dimensional worldýinto the motion design workflow by learning toýdesign and conceptualize in Z space. Students willýlearn about modeling, lighting and render inývarious styles via series of in-class / homeworkýassignments throughout the term in order to becomeýcomfortable with 3-dimensional design andýanimation workflow. Two major assignments areýgiven in the course of the term. The first projectýwill be to construct and composite a sceneýintegrating 3D assets with live action scene. Theý2nd project is to design and animate in 3D spaceýwith topics at the discretionary of the faculty.

When the Bauhaus was originally conceived, one ofýits primary intents was to address and capture theý'eternal human spirit' in art, design, andýarchitecture. It sought and cultivated wonder, theýutopian, the radical. It promoted 'look- ing' asýan intellectual pursuit and considered everyýaction in life as a medium for creativity. TheýBauhaus was revolution- ary in its re-linking ofýthe arts, crafts, life, and manufacturing. Drivenýby socialist ideals, it created a curriculum ofýnew forms that helped craft the 'modern.' It didýso by forging an art, design, and industryýeducation bound by community, aesthetic risk, andýthe sharing of ideas and skills. Yet, over time,ýmuch of that initial spirit has been forgotten orýreduced to cold and functional readings of whatýthe Bauhaus was about. Plan B resists such narrowýinterpretations and sets out to revive theýforgotten or overridden aspects of the Bauhaus-inýaddition to delineating its thinking, impact, andýinfluence-by re-imagining them in a contemporaryýsetting. Working with the idea of the contemporaryýas 'an experience of profound dissonance' with itsýtime, project leaders will develop and implement aýresearch-based and experimental Berlin program 'inýthe spirit of' the Bauhaus, where ideas, shapes,ýdisciplines, and the virtual co-exist. Theýresulting work will then be showcased within theýframe of an HMCT exhibition in L.A., along withýsatellite exhibits and events.

Data shows that Pasadena's vaccination effortsýhave been more successful than surrounding cities,ýbut unevenly distributed. While overall 99.7% ofýPasadena residents having received at least oneýdose of the vaccine, Black and Latinx populations,ýas well as children aged 5-11 and adults agedý18-44, have lower rates of vaccination. Inýaddition, the vaccine will soon be approved forýthe final group of the youngest children, agedý0-4, with the decision power resting with theirýparents and guardians. What can be done to supportývaccination rates for all of these populations? ýHow can people be directed to trustworthy andýreliable sources about health information? Whatýcan be done to help people navigate the healthcareýsystem and get access to the vaccines? In thisýstudio, students will work with the PasadenaýPublic Health Department and on-the-ground subjectýmatter experts such as promotoras, lay healthýadvocates who connect Spanish-speaking communitiesýwith the healthcare system, and community clinicsýto develop a community-based campaign to addressýthese questions, using traditional andýnon-traditional media and methods.
