Animation: Motion Design

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course has been developed to sit alongside ARTS 166 and 266 for students interested in a deeper dive into the practical techniques used in traditional animation. During this class, you will be reacquainted with the 'principles of animation', and learn how to create strong believable animations while developing a sense of observation, timing and motion. The course will primarily focus on 2D mediums, however the techniques covered are an important foundation in all forms of animation. Classes will consist of short demonstrations, viewing of related works, hands-on experimentation and critique. The course will conclude with the creation of a final project in which students will illustrate the principles discussed in the course.
