VMAP 295

Catalog description

Intermediate, studio-based course in animation, motion graphics, and sequential media. Creative work begins with traditional methods such as flipbooks, cutouts, and cel animation before moving onto mixed-media stopmotion and multi-plane animation, digital 2D animation, and motion graphic work using Adobe AfterEffects. Studio practice is developed by learning through process and experimentation and is contextualized within the history of animation, contemporary art, and experimental media via supplemental readings, screenings, workshops, and seminar discussions. All genres and styles of animation are within the scope of this course and relationships between animation and drawing, film, painting, photography, sculpture, sound, and video will be explored.
