My experience in GAD was, to put it simply, quite the experience. I think overall I learned the most in this class out of all that i have taken, and despite it being my lowest grade, I believe it benefited me the most as well. My main takeaways from this class are those surrounding the use of 3Ds Max and design principals and such, and with this I feel as though I have the knowledge needed to pursue a career in this field. We learned how to be professional in the creative workplace as well as subjects surrounding advanced modeling techniques, lighting, mapping, cameras, and rigging. I believe that this class itself is one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had, due to the rich amount of knowledge and wisdom I have gained while in it. I have not only grown as a digital creative, but also as a person. Learning how to balance my time effectively, be organized in the digital world, and use the skills acquired to make my visions and ideas a reality, and will recommend this class to anyone even somewhat interested in the many topics it covers. But not only was this class beneficial in the sense that I was able to learn what I needed to make art, but I learned one of the most important skills of all. I learned how to fail. In such a competitive world and society, not enough people know what it feels like to not succeed in a class. They are so used to getting straight A's and being top of the class honors students, they almost completely give up or back out when faced with a challenge they know they are unable to complete as well as they wish. I'm not saying that this class is impossible, but it is incredibly difficult to get a 100 in, especially given the harsh grading and limited resources, but despite all this, I believe this class set me up for life better than any others in my entire experience as a student, and will use the website skills and knowledge of the design process in future projects, as well as having already used my skills on how to write a professional resume to get a job. Thank you Mr. B, I really appreciate your class and truly believe that more teachers and even schools overall can learn from how you structure your class.
