Animation is the art of transforming static images
into dynamic, captivating creations. It's a
versatile and immersive medium that empowers
artists and storytellers to breathe life into
characters and imaginary worlds. From enchanting
short films and whimsical cartoons to epic,
feature-length movies and persuasive
advertisements, animation has the extraordinary
ability to captivate and connect with audiences of
all ages. Explore the principles and techniques
that have shaped the art of animation for decades.
Guided by experienced animators, this course
introduces students to the charm of traditional
animation methods and techniques, such as
hand-drawn and stop-motion. Students will explore
visual storytelling techniques by drawing and
painting movement frames by hand, using colour,
shading and line weight. Students will experiment
with developing visual narratives that effectively
convey engaging stories, while challenging them to
think about how movement and timing are portrayed.
Through hands-on projects, students will work in
traditional animation methods, such as stop
motion, flip books and pencil tests, as well as
discover how traditional techniques can be
complemented by digital tools, enhancing workflow
while maintaining the charm of traditional
animation. Covering principles of animation,
character design and storytelling, Traditional
Animation provides a foundation for further
studies in drawing, perspective drawing, character
illustration and environment concept art. Dive
into the enchanting world of traditional
animation, where creativity meets craftsmanship!

Description
Teen Art Group is an immersive arts learning
experience grounded in the cultural, educational,
and experimental opportunities made possible
through a unique partnership between Emily Carr
University of Art + Design and the Vancouver Art
Gallery.
Designed for youth ages 15 to 18, the program
alternates weekly between the two locations: At
the Gallery, participants take part in interactive
experiences with artworks and exhibitions, and
behind-the-scenes sessions with curators, artists,
and other cultural practitioners. The exploration
of art and ideas generated at the Gallery
continues into studio classrooms at Emily Carr
University, where participants join a vibrant
community of learning and gain access to
university resources. Taught by professional
artist educators, the studio component of the
program is an opportunity for participants to
experiment with materials and making, while
developing their artistic expression and voice as
young creatives.
This dynamic program encourages youth to
explore a wide range of topics, ideas, and media.
By the end of the program, participants will
generate new ideas alongside their peers and
produce both independent and collaborative artwork
to begin building a portfolio, all while deepening
their creative, critical and cultural engagement
with the world through art and design.
