Blender 3D Modeling: Spring Break Club

This guided creation club introduces beginners to 3D solid modeling using Blender, the professional tool used in games, films, and product design. Rather than a rigid lecture series, students meet regularly to design, model, and revise objects together in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Sessions begin with the basics: navigating Blender’s interface and working with simple geometric primitives like cubes, cylinders, and spheres. Students learn core modeling actions—scaling, rotating, extruding, and shaping—to turn primitives into recognizable objects. Emphasis is on clean models and foundational design thinking: form, proportion, and how shapes combine in three-dimensional space. The club encourages experimentation and improvement. Students iterate on their designs based on instructor feedback and peer review, developing both practical skills and confidence using Blender’s core tools. Projects are student-driven and may include everyday objects, simple props, stylized models, and other creative ideas that reinforce solid modeling techniques. This club is ideal for beginners who want a calm, hands-on introduction to Blender and a focus on real modeling skills, not just button-clicking. By the end of the club, students will have stronger spatial reasoning, a basic modeling workflow they can repeat, and several small projects that demonstrate their growing abilities.
