Instructor: Patrick Smith

Open to Film, Dramatic Writing, and Producing Students

This class offers a clear understanding of the arts and crafts of animation, focusing on working with traditional media – hand drawing, painting, sculpture - and according to traditional forms of art. This class helps students to understand fundamentals of animation and what the art of motion can encompass. The class goes beyond covering basic principles of animation, by helping students to develop new ways of thinking about visual design and encouraging them to experiment in new directions. Students animate simple objects, create hand-drawn animations, stop-motion animations, and use other media such as video, kinetic sculptures, light, photographs, music, text and graphics in the context of animation.

In addition, you must register for Traditional Forms Tech Lab (ANDA-GT.2101.902)
