Methods and Techniques 1. Teorik Anlatım: Konular ders kapsamında teorik olarak anlatılır. Öğrenciler programlamanın temel kavramlarını ve algoritmaların mantığını kavrayabilmeleri için konu anlatımları dinler. 2. Uygulamalı Çalışmalar: Öğrenciler, teorik olarak anlatılan konuların uygulamasını yapmak için ders eğitmeni mentorlüğünde çeşitli örneklerle çalışmalar gerçekleştirir. Kazanımlar elde edilmeye çalışılır. 3. Adım Adım Çözümleme: Karşılaşılan problemler adım adım çözülerek her adımın nasıl işlediği açıklanır. Bu yöntemle öğrencilerin konulara daha hakim olması sağlanır. 4.Gerçek Hayat Örnekleri: Konuların daha iyi anlaşılması için gerçek hayattan örnekler ve problem senaryoları sunulur. Böylece öğrenciler öğrendiklerini pratikte nasıl kullanacağını görür. 5. Laboratuvar Föyleri ve Quizler: Haftalık laboratuvar föyleri ve sınav öncesi quizler ile öğrencilerin ilerlemesi değerlendirilir, konuların anlaşılıp anlaşılmadığı takip edilir.

Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge and skills in the field of graphics and animation, and to provide them with the ability to produce digital visual content and apply animation techniques. As part of the course, students will learn the basic principles of digital art and animation and experience using graphic design tools, animation software and 3D modeling techniques.

Students will learn how to model characters and environments, create motion graphics, animation loops and effects by applying two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) graphic design techniques. In addition, they will develop their artistic creativity through projects and practical work, and gain knowledge about cinematic narrative techniques and visual storytelling.

At the end of the course, students will gain the ability to create graphic and animation projects, effectively manage design and animation processes and become experts at a basic level in digital content development. This course provides a solid foundation for students who want to work in creative sectors such as media, games, film and advertising.
