 EXPLANATORY NOTE
Computer graphics is a field of computer science dealing with the problems of obtaining various images (drawings, drawings, animation,
etc.) on a computer.
Today computer graphics are a significant factor in the modern aesthetic environment (the organization of the material, subject and spiritual
environment of a person). This is the primary importance of computer graphics for the aesthetic education of a child. Educational influence becomes
especially relevant when acquaintance with computer graphics reaches the level of practical activity of a school student and is implemented in the
social environment surrounding the child in the form of projects created by him (for example, creating a new design for his own apartment or
house).
One of the advantages of introducing information computer technologies into the educational process is the implementation of the principle
of visualization of teaching at a qualitatively new level. This principle is one of the fundamental principles of teaching. The use of computer
graphics allows you to make the studied events and phenomena more visual, and, therefore, accessible, thus, turning the learning process into a
more comfortable one for the student and increasing the level of perception of the studied material.
Three-dimensional (3D) graphics is the process of creating a volumetric model using special computer programs.
A three-dimensional image on a plane differs from a two-dimensional one in that it includes the construction of a geometric projection of a
three-dimensional model onto a plane using specialized programs. In a special program, the model can be viewed from all sides (top, bottom, side),
embedded on any plane and in any environment. 3D graphics typically deal with a virtual, imaginary three-dimensional space that is displayed on a
flat, two-dimensional surface of a display or sheet of paper.
To date, objects of three-dimensional graphics have found the widest application in various industries: construction, interior design,
advertising, cinematography, television, computer animation, medicine, terrain modeling, monitoring and management of objects, site building,
computer games, various industries.
The computer technology used in the course of the lessons makes it possible to make the training sessions more attractive, interesting and
truly modern, as well as to individualize the training.
 The recognition that information competence is a basic, key competence for all components of the educational process shows its unique role
in school education.
Such an understanding of the place of informatics orients the school not to develop students' ability to work on a computer, but to form new
ways of thinking, understanding, reflection and activity. It is known that the thinking of students effectively develops in conditions of self-
organization and self-development of the individual. Putting forward personally significant goals and defining ways to achieve them, schoolchildren
effortlessly overcome intellectual difficulties, demonstrate a surge of thinking. In other words, students can develop in the learning process if it is
personally meaningful.
The program of the training course "Computer Modeling" meets the educational needs of students and is focused on a competency-based
approach in the development of technology.
The competence-based approach directs students to more fully express their creative potential and implement their own ideas in the studied
area of knowledge, creates the prerequisites for the application of the mastered techniques of working with documents in other training courses. The
formation of information competence contributes to the emergence of positive motivation aimed at mastering office technologies for various
professions.
The course "Computer Modeling", based on the competence-based approach, enables students to solve complex problems, including non-
algorithmic ones, implemented at different levels, from the simplest to the most advanced, by means of computer graphics. The comparative
characteristics of different teams are multifunctional (they allow solving different tasks by one team and one task by different teams) and
transferable to different areas of activity, including extracurricular
In the course "Computer Modeling" children in a simple and accessible form get acquainted with 3D graphics and the possibilities of various
3D programs. The course covers all areas of 3D graphics:
● 3D graphics,
● visualization of architecture,
● Interior Design,
● 3D animation, modeling.
The purpose of the program is the initial acquaintance of students with the basics of three-dimensional modeling (building three-dimensional models
and their use).
Program objectives:
● formation of the ability to work independently and in a group;
● search and organize information;
● the formation of the ability to quickly and efficiently process and demonstrate information;
Responsibly solve current, including non-standard tasks;
● show initiative and creativity in solving problems;
● get acquainted with the modern principles and methods of creating 3D models based on the use of vector graphics;
● develop the creativity and design skills of students.
● acquaintance with the basic principles of algorithmization and programming in the Kodu Game Lab environment;
● development of an algorithmic style of thinking;
● the development of cognitive processes of the individual, the development of mental actions, the development of general educational
skills;
● fostering interest in the subject of computer science, fostering information culture of students, fostering independence and accuracy.
Age group: students from grades 3-5.

The current control of the level of assimilation of the material is carried out according to the results of the implementation of practical tasks
by students in the lesson. At the end of the course, the student completes an individual project as an assignment using one of the computer
applications reviewed.
