AN 1100 - Intro to Animation (Drawing for Animation)

In this course, emphasis is focused on the drawing techniques specific to the field of animation. Through a number of assignments and in-class exercises, students will develop and refine their abilities to depict the figure in motion with an awareness to anatomy, proportion, fluidity, and the relationship of the figure within a space. Beginning with observational drawings from a model, students will have the opportunity to explore stylization by exaggerating shape and form. This course will also focus on the development of environments. Students will explore viewpoint, perspective, and lighting to build dynamic settings for animation. (4 Credits)
