Course Name Department Course Code Term
Foundation Studio Courses FNDT 108 26/FA

Description

This course explores a range of creative processes to develop ways to connect thinking, making, and writing in an art and design context. Students will learn to contextualize projects in social, political, ecological and personal ways and engage in creative problem solving through iteration, experimentation, improvisation, and adapting to accidental discoveries as a generative part of the creative process. Through process-based learning and practice, students will experiment with interdisciplinary explorations framed by research skill development through collaborative projects, peer reviews, discussions, individual assignments, and critique-based studio sessions. Students will produce multiple versions of ideas from concept to content to creatively solve problems while determining new ways to view art + design practice overall.

2D Animation 2DAN 400 26/FA

Description

In 2DAN 400 Animation Core Studio, students work on the creative and conceptual development of their capstone animation project. The project is the culmination of students' development as an animation artist within the 2D + Experimental Animation Bachelor of Media Arts degree. Through this project, students pursue their self-expression, personal and professional goals in the medium of animation. The project is a time-based animation piece with sound, created individually, or collaboratively, over the course of the fall and spring semesters (8 months of production time). It may take the form of a short film, interactive project, installation, etc. Following professional production practices and standards, students engage in formulating their project concept, developing their narrative, visual and sound design, drafting and refining their project, meeting project milestones according to production schedules, leveraging collaborative resources, and work towards 50% progress on an exhibition-ready project. The course involves regular feedback sessions, lectures, workshops, group discussion and one-on-one contact with the instructor.
