Concept Art workshop using a tablet

Students will work on a tablet and create a character based on a given theme. For this Spin 2009 challenge, students will also have ten minutes to write a text explaining their work method.

Modeling workshop

For this modeling workshop, students will attempt to sculpt the head of a character in low resolution. The topology, complexity, details and balance of forms are among the evaluation criteria.
