In this animation class, students explore the art of bringing images to life through layered storytelling and movement. With a focus on multi-plane animation, we’ll experiment with depth, composition, and camera movement to create dimensional scenes. Students will also be introduced to a range of animation approaches, including stop motion and other mixed-media techniques.

Through hands-on projects, students will create short animated pieces while developing an understanding of timing, visual storytelling, and spatial design. The class offers a supportive environment to experiment, take creative risks, and grow both technically and artistically.
