ART 248 - Introduction to Animation: Stop Motion

Credit Hours: 4
This course introduces students to the fundamental issues and techniques of animation through stop-motion, a technique where objects are moved incrementally in a series of still images to create the illusion of movement.
Students will develop their ability to use movement and timing for expressive purposes, through assignments exploring multiple hands-on animation techniques. Lectures, readings, and screenings will introduce students to
the history and principles of animation, and facilitate the exploration of form, method, and content through studio assignments and projects.
