About the Course

Jump into a new world of animation and techniques!

This course is designed to get your hands dirty - you've learned the basics in our Animation Fundamentals class, now you want to experience how different artists approach "animation" as an artistic medium! With three excellent independent animators providing insight into their work and mentoring you through the process, learn and make animations using different techniques that aren't limited to "drawing" and "picture-taking!"

This course is split into three main "workshops" that cover different techniques in animation. Each "workshop" is 4 classes long, where you'll be introduced to each technique, receive demonstrations and tips&tricks, and given ample time to mess around and make stuff!

**You must pay for the full experience, currently there is no option to only take "one" of the workshops. The course is designed to include transitions and segues into each subject. There is no class on March 25th.

This Semester's Segments:

Scratch on Film - Jack Parker

Digital to Traditional Collages - Michelle Longpre

Cyanotype Animation - Joanne Fisher

Course Information

A basic understanding of animation is an asset, but this is your chance to play in the mud so we're more than happy to accept anyone excited to try something new!

Make it a full-semester project or make it three smaller ones, make stuff! That's the goal - MAKE STUFF
