As paired with the co-requisite Core Studio 4D, this course will explore the applications of handmade illustration to the field of animation.The two courses will bring together reading, writing and making in a manner that is essential to the creative work of animator/illustrators.. The seminar will also introduce key conceptual elements of time-based media, such as short-range apparent motion, dramatic staging, mis-en-scene, line of action, characterization and narrative arc. Examples of animated works in proto-cinema, experimental animation, propaganda, children’s media and advertising will be shown in class demonstrating the technical developments in the field including flip-books, phenakistiscopes, magic lanterns, film and digital video. In this three-hour sophomore Seminar, all of the projects for the semester will be launched and their conceptual underpinnings examined. Projects will explore a range of approaches to animation including hand-drawn images, digital 2D images, and stop-motion. The making of these projects will take place in the co-requisite six-hour Core Studio section. As each project progresses, it will be critiqued and evaluated within both sections. The Seminar will include a number of cross-sectional lectures relating to innovative practice and topics in animation.. The lectures will relate to the projects currently underway. Students will be expected to respond to the lectures and discussion in text and/or image form in a Learning Portfolio. They will be expected to understand their Learning Portfolio as a tool for documenting, learning, reflecting and generating ideas, and to keep and use additional process books throughout their experience at Parsons.
