Animation
The Animation Concentration
The animation program offers the experience of animation through hands-on access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities in the Animation Center. The student is urged to explore no singular approach to the art form, instead remaining open to the possibilities of this powerful communications tool. Whether enrolled in traditional or computer concentrations, students first learn the art of timing, movement, and storytelling by taking series of classes that teach both the skill and origin of the animation process.
