Description

This course varies in topic from section to section, and is repeatable for credit so long as the thematic topic has changed. This course will introduce students to illustration methodologies and develop a capacity for critical discourse concerning the content of imagery in applied art practices. This will be achieved through an iterative process that maintains a continued focus on a specialized skill set. Topics might include: Colour Theory, Digital Illustration, and Perspective, among others. As an impressively diverse field that spans print, screen, objects, and environments physical and virtual, Illustration increasingly necessitates versatility in both material process and problem-solving skills.

Description

This course focuses on animation principles of character movement: body mechanics, locomotion, gestures, facial animation, timing, acting, dialogue and staging. Students will develop their skills through a series of exercises that progress from functional movement towards integrating function with personality and expression. At the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of pieces ranging from walk cycles to complex dialogue scenes. This course is the first in a series of two character animation courses.
