Course Summary

An animation course in painting and clay modeling provides students with the fundamental skills necessary to create and work with 2D and 3D visual art forms. The course begins by introducing students to the fundamentals of drawing, color theory, composition, and perspective. Students then progress to learning how to effectively sketch characters, landscapes, and objects, as well as shading techniques. As the course progresses, students learn how to apply their knowledge to more traditional animation models such as clay figures, which involve sculpting various shapes from raw clay blocks.
