Do you ever look at your drawings and doodles and wish you could watch them wiggle, kick, wink, or shake? With animation, you can! We will watch drawn animations from different times and places, have workshops and assignments that cover basic techniques, and do LOTS and LOTS of drawing! Three projects will be completed throughout the course: a class-collaborative “Exquisite Corpse” morph animation, an abstract “doodle” cycled animation, and a short looped animation of your own imagined character walking. Lots of hard work, and lots of fun!
