    Description
    This course is an investigation into the artistic creation of movement on a frame by frame basis known as animation. Lectures will include demonstrations of different animation techniques, as well as historical and contemporary examples of professional animators who use those techniques. Students will gain an experiential knowledge of the breadth of classical and experimental animation techniques including hand-drawn, claymation, stop-motion, cut-outs, and paint-on-glass. Students will create and critique assignments using these techniques both individually and corporately, culminating in a final short film.
