(5) VLPA/I&S
This class studies animation to explore what it means to live in a world of constant change and transformation. Students will learn by viewing a diverse selection of animated work, reading about how media informs our perceptions of time and space, and working on creative projects. They will finish the quarter with a piece of creative digital animation that develops the themes of the class in innovative directions. More specifically, students will ask: What does it mean to be animated? What techniques are used to create the illusionary gestures of animation? How do animation practices differ in different parts of the world? How has time-based media developed in the West? How can technology expand our perceptions about animation? Join us as we span the globe from Africa to Asia to Europe, pondering what it means to live in an animated world and exploring possibilities for putting this world in motion.
