This course is intended for students who want to learn the basics of animation. The course is for non-majors and does not replace ANIM 207. Participants appreciate motion and its characteristics and attain a full understanding of introductory animation principles. Through assignments and weekly lectures, students will understand and experiment with a variety of animation techniques. Historically relevant work, including material produced by Emily Carr University alumni and by local, national, and international animators will be screened.
