Before building characters you need to define individual shapes using objects.
Now we attach our particle to a spring.
First let's think about how to rotate some really simple points such as (0,0) and (1,0)
First we'll use the slope intercept form of a line to define each frame along a straight line.
First let's look at ray tracing in 2D using a simple example.
First you'll connect shapes together using joints that rotate.
First we need to make sure we understand exactly what happens in the split & average steps.
Let's start by drawing every frame, one by one...
Find out how we can make curved lines using straight ones using the string art construction.
What happens if the director changes their mind and asks for two headed robots?
First we'll review weighted averages of two points and extend the idea to three points. Practice weighted averages of two points in Environment Modeling if you haven't seen it before.
How can we calculate a weighted average between two points? (pssst. This video is super important).
Introduction to the basics of ray tracing.
Have students bring articles on current events which either support or criticize the 1st Amendment
It’s go time! The David Hamilton Jackson and All Ahwe Project, This project has become such a cornerstone of celebrating Jackson’s legacy; it’s about more than just remembering history, it’s about tapping into the social equity conversations we’re still having today. In past years, we’ve seen nearly 200 students pour their hearts into this project, using everything from poetry to art to connect with Jackson’s fight for labor rights and freedom of the press.This exhibition at Cane Roots Art Gallery has become the place where our students can show off how they’re not just learning history, but owning it. Whether it’s a poem about equity, a painting about standing up, or a song about justice, they’ve made this project come alive. And that’s exactly why we need your leadership to get estudents involved.- Teacher's Guide: Everything they need to integrate this project into their classrooms.- Discussion Questions: Get students thinking about social equity and Jackson’s impact.- Creative Prompts: From essays to art to music, we’ve got ideas to get the creative juices flowing.Submissions due by October 25: Remind your students to submit their work on time, so we can feature their talents at Cane Roots Art Gallery from November 2nd - 16th.
Overview of cycles of regulation, de-regulation and government in 20th century US capitalism. Created by Sal Khan.
An interactive map that shows electoral college results for presidential elections. Also includes historical elections back to 1789, and various elections for Senate, House of Representatives, and governors. Students can also interactive with and manipulate the map to see how elections would have turned out with different results.
Now we add a horizontal component to our system.
Next lets build a diagram that break rotation into smaller parts. The next exercise will give us a chance to build our understanding of this diagram.
Let's look more closely at how light behaves when it strikes an object. We'll cover diffuse and specular surface responses.
