Course Objectives:

Within this course; students are expected to practice fundamental methods of 2 dimensional animation in digital domain by creating their own unique work in line with different principles and phases that this line of work requires.

Course Content:

Students gain familiarity within animation’s main principles, specifications and learn processes from ideation, conceptualization to distribution by an integrated perspective.. Through realized projects they explore timing in animation, spacing, rythm, expressions, walk cycles and they learn how to apply these techniques to animated 2 dimensional animation projects.

Teaching Methods:

1: Lecture, 2: Question-Answer, 3: Problem Solving, 4: Discussion, 5: Demonstration, 6: Group Study

Assessment Methods:
