ART 398 - Animation II

This course is an advanced study in the creative and technical processes of creating 2D animation. Students will expand their understanding of the fundamental principles of animation through in-class exercises, intensive weekly short animated projects, and viewing and discussion of related animated films. Along with advanced animation principles, there will be an emphasis on idea generation for storytelling, and developing a personal visual language. Students should finish the course with a more advanced understanding of animation mechanics, storytelling, production scheduling, and animation problem solving/research. The weekly short animated projects should act as a starting point for a portfolio.
