AN 2320 - The Art of Villainy

Credits: 3

This sophomore-level elective explores the visual development and narrative psychology of the animated villain in film and games. Students will analyze both detestable and lovable villains throughout the history of animation and games.  Assignments will include class discussions, villain creation, and exercises that focus on both the narrative and visual connection between real-world evil and fictional characters. Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to develop believable villains that demonstrate a meaningful translation of real world villainy into dramatic animated and gaming fiction.

Prerequisites: AN 1110 - Introduction to Animated Storytelling  and FD 1370 - Life Drawing I
