CO34:  Make a layout of a model, using their skills to observe and analyze the model's features. This helps them understand armature construction and create the model in 3D.

 

CO35: Create a portfolio by replicating live models in clay to master facial anatomy. Adapt to mold making and casting busts into permanent mediums for market-ready portraits. Experiment with various facial features to become proficient with different face types.

 

CO36:  Develop skills to accurately portray faces, focusing on proportion, expression, and resemblance. Gain a deeper understanding of individual features, such as eyes, nose, and lips, in relation to the model.

CO37: Justify given submissions of portraits by prioritizing character and validating essential elements such as proportion, balance, expression, and resemblance.

 

CO38: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
