AN2D 1390 - Drawing + Acting for Animation

Credits: 3

In this freshman-level studio course, students explore the importance of acting and performance to build upon fundamental animation skills. With an emphasis on mass, volume, structure, and design, students use simplified drawing techniques to express character behavior as it applies to “moving drawings.” By the end of the course, students understand the value of solid character structure, how to create drawings that convey emotion, and how to more effectively create key poses and realistic facial and body expressions.
