Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the second semester
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
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, supervised practical sessions, 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 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 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 projects 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.
Recommended or required readings :
Course materials: Available on the institutional course platform
Assessment methods and criteria :
Mode of assessment: In-person

Assessment format: Assignment submission

Type of assessment: Continuous assessment

Grading method: 100% of the final grade

Assessment for resits: Any work not validated in the first session must be resubmitted for the second session

In the event of suspected academic misconduct or the use of artificial intelligence tools not authorised under the assessment guidelines, the teaching team may require the student to attend an interview to verify that the submitted work genuinely reflects their own knowledge and skills.

This interview may, for example, involve questions about the approach taken, an oral defence to assess the student's understanding of the subject, an additional practical exercise, or the completion of part of the work again.

If the interview does not establish that the student has sufficient understanding and mastery of the submitted work, the provisions of the academic regulations relating to fraud or plagiarism may apply.
