Level IV provides further opportunity for students to explore style and critical skills. This class is an in-depth study of the animation process. Students are given animation exercises and create short animations. The class focuses on both technical and conceptual concerns such as creating space in time, gesture and meaning, and relationships between traditional cel animation and computer animation. Screenings, readings, lectures, and discussions about the history of film and computer animation are also part of this class.
