| Description (ECIAD) | In this course, students explore the fundamentals
of character design for animation, working with
the elements of characterization, design,
performance, movement, appeal, and anatomical
structure in the creation of their own characters.
Dimensional and flat stylizations are examined
through construction of structural drawings and
shape-based techniques. Through practical
application, students contextualize the impact of
body language and facial expressions on character
design. Research and discussion consider the
differences between concept art and production
artwork, the basics of colour theory, the
development of design styles in animation history,
and the role representation.
