The 3-dimensional creatures will be made into paper sculptures and printed on the 3D printer.  \nDuration of Lessons: Nine class periods, 50 minutes each  \nConnection to standards/common core: Visual Arts, Grade 9-12 (Ohio)  \nHS intermediate: Responding/Reflecting-4RE: Explain the role of innovative technologies in the creation and composition of new media imagery.  \nHS intermediate: Producing/Performing-5PR: Understand and demonstrate how to access available digital tools and innovative technologies to create and manipulate artwork.  \nHS intermediate: Perceiving/Knowing-5PE: Explore the application of technology to the production of visual artworks.  \nGuiding Questions/ Essential Questions: How can an artist be inspired by another artist without just copying another's artwork? How can technology help us create artwork?  \nLearning Objectives: Students will understand how advancements in technology have helped artists expand their access to tools for creating artwork. Students will learn basic tools in Maya to create a 3-D modeled figure, and learn how to make it into an 'unwrapped' pattern to add texture in Photoshop.  \nStudents will mix creating artwork digitally and through traditional methods.  \nMaterials:  \na) Graph paper and pencils for sketches  \nb) Cover stock paper, X-acto knives and glue for printing the creatures  \nc) Paint, markers, colored pencils  \nCreated with support from the Institute for Japanese Studies (OSU) and a Japan Foundation: Center for Global Partnership Grant.

Students discuss their knowledge of Miyazaki's movies and animated characters. Students discuss their knowledge of anime and the history and origin of anime.  \nLesson Activity Day 1  \nStudents look at segments of Miyazaki movies and film still images, and begin sketching characters inspired by Miyazaki's movies. They will use graph paper to make their designs into simple cube designs, intending to start creating simple creatures in Maya using polygon cubes and the extruder tool.  \nLesson Activity Day 2  \nTutorial on using the extruder tool in Maya. Students practice using the extruder tool, and begin creating their creature in Maya, following their designs on the graph paper.  \nLesson Activity Day 3  \nStudents finish their 3D modeled creature design and save the file as an STL file ready to print on the Ultimaker 3D printer. Students send their file to the teacher for assessment and to get the file ready to print using the Cura software program.  \nLesson Activity Day 4  \nWhile the 3D printer is starting to print, students will begin working on the 'unwrap' of their 3D creature. Teacher demonstration of UVs and textures in Maya, and students begin working on creating UVs and textures.  \nLesson Activity Day 5 and 6  \nTeacher demonstration of Photoshop as a means to create textures on UVs. Students practice using Photoshop to create textures, and save the files as jpegs. Students send jpeg files to the teacher for assessment and to print files on cover stock paper.  \nCreated with support from the Institute for Japanese Studies (OSU) and a Japan Foundation: Center for Global Partnership Grant.
