IANIM 2600 Experimental Animation
This course will explore the concept of animation as fine art, using fine arts practices and principals to create the illusion of movement and action. Students will develop traditional and contemporary tools that will enhance and clarify specificity in their personal narratives. The iterative process will be explored with traditional techniques and mediums such as, but no limited to: scratch film, motion painting, chalk board animation, pixilation, and cut paper, as well as digital technologies, to delve into the experimental process. Students will challenge conceptual and aesthetic solutions through the process of experimentation to enhance their visual language. The history of experimental animation will be discussed and utilized as research for student’s visual narratives.
