Get animated! In the 2D-focused courses students work in-depth with Adobe Flash to explore and create a variety of animation styles including motion graphics, kinetic typography, web site animation, and character animation. In character animation students develop a complete rig and apply the fundamental principles of animation to develop convincing movements like head turns, walk cycles and speech. If you think you’re interested in animation, this is a great place to explore and try it out. For the more serious animator, it’s a great place to hone your skills and develop your portfolio.
