AN 301

This concept art course focuses on character design. Students create memorable characters with interesting personalities and physical features that tell a story. Students will practice developing characters through observation, research, and visualization, embedding them in worlds with thought-through social values and cultural attributes. Students learn how to translate illustration into time-based media, and continue developing mastery of digital, analog, and traditional animation tools. Differences and overlaps of animation and game art pipelines will be clarified. Students develop scripts, storyboards, and short animations.
