Workshop Information
You will design your own still life image, and therefore your own allegory of life – using the iconographic library provided and considering the associated symbolism.
You will learn to use the basics of Blender software to create a poster on which your images will appear. You will learn how to modify and work with downloaded 3D images, applying textures and moving them around to achieve the final desired result for your poster.
Your final product of the workshop will be a poster. However, as the imagery will be created using 3D Blender software, it could be used in a variety of ways. You can animate it, capture it in multiple angles or forms, film it in 3D and so on.
Having prior experience with basic design software is recommended.
