CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
Students will be introduced to 3D graphics softwares such as Blender. They will learn basic methods for creating and modelling objects suitable for producing actual sculptures using 3D printing. Students will be guided through a series of hands-on exercises that highlight 3d-modeling and they will be introduced to the same techniques as sculptors and architectural offices apply such as Tony Cragg, Nick Ervinck and Xavier Veilhan.

Priority order in corse regisrtation: 1. Students in Sculpture minor 2. ARTS students
Priority order to courses is according to the order of priority decided by the Academic committee for School of Arts, Design and Architecture: https//www.aalto.fi/en/services/registering-to-courses-and-the-order-of-priority-in-aalto-arts
After the registration has closed, SISU conducts a raffle to allocate all the seats while considering the possible prioritisation order stated above. If there are more registrants than available seats, ten (10) students from the remaining applicants are drawn and placed on a waiting list in numerical order. On the first day of the course, these students may check for available seats in case of no-shows. Any available seats are then filled in numerical order. Students on the waiting list will receive an email containing details about the registration status, once the registration period has closed.
