Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

It was a hobby of mine back in high school and I was involved in it to the point of entering competition.  I am interested in mastering professional digital 3d modeling techniques to improve my future work.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

Porting and editing sculpted mesh files into programs for vertex editing, creating low resolution proxy meshes from high resolution vertex sculpt models, using displacement and bump maps (how to texture effectively and realistically using current vertex topology)

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

A piece of art is worthwhile or interesting if it speaks to the viewer or conveys a message.  If it draws the viewer in and brings them into a different world of environment and captures his or her imagination.
