Catalog description

In this studio course, students continue to study animation concepts that include expanded rendering of two-dimensional vector drawings, computer animation techniques, and digital video/audio production for screens and devices. Emphasis is on expanded implementation of elements and principles of four-dimensional art and design, creativity, originality, and experimentation with a variety of media. Students expand their use of various animation software packages to create, edit, and manipulate animated sequences complete with sound and special effects for screens and devices. Students continue to develop audio/video animated content that can be used for a portfolio reel or multi-purpose exhibition. Students identify current trends for animation and motion graphics and their cultural and technological influences on the animation field. Additionally, students articulate formal and conceptual qualities of animations using elements and principles of four-dimensional art and design, motion, and animation specific terms through verbal and written critiques.
