Goal of the Workshop
This workshop aims to practice and develop skills in Concept ideation, one of the most important aspects of design, and bringing that idea from 2D conception to life with 3D techniques.
Participants will take idea that they developed in Jourdan’s class and make a small prop within that world in Kay Tang’s class.
