    Description
    This course will introduce students to the basic forms and terminology of animation, and provide training in fluid representations of motion and expression. Instruction will emphasize traditional character animation techniques such as character development, exaggeration, timing, acting and weight. The course will provide a good grounding for basic animation skills and production processes. The classes will often include film screening from across styles and animation historical contexts to further demonstrate the topics covered in class.
