Learning unit contents :

The topics covered in this learning activity (LO) explore various aspects of geometry through a series of themed modules. The aim is to raise students' awareness of the presence and usefulness of geometric concepts in visual creation, while familiarizing them with practical implementation.

Each module follows the same pedagogical structure, including a theoretical component, preparatory work, a supervised practical session, and the submission of an individual or group assignment.

The five modules covered are:

Geometric Perspectives - Study of representation systems (parallel, linear, and curvilinear perspectives).
Geometric Harmony - Exploration of proportions, the golden ratio, symmetries, tilings, fractals, and optical illusions.
Geometric Patterns - Use of mathematical tools in illustration software to construct repeated geometric motifs.
Volume Unfolding - Introduction to the geometry of volumes, 2D unfolding, and its applications in packaging (optimization, storage, recycling).
Meshes and UVs - Introduction to 3D mesh concepts, spatial transformations, and UV mapping.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit :

Communicate and inform:

Present technical solution and application prototypes.

Collaborate in the design, improvement and development of technical projects:

Develop a work methodology.
Analyze a given situation from technical and scientific perspectives.
Propose solutions that take constraints into account

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

Theoretical lectures
Practical sessions
Group work
Individual assignments

Teaching methods for this course include:

Theoretical aspects: In-class presentation of the core geometric concepts of the module, illustrated with examples from visual creation.
Preparatory work: Students gather or prepare the necessary elements for the practical application (references, sketches, software elements, etc.).
Practical work: Completion of a supervised individual project, often in small groups to encourage personalized support.
Submission of the work: Presentation or submission of the assignment at the end of the session or for the following session.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning) :

In-person or hybrid teaching.
