[Analytic Animation Art Seminar / Year 2]
In addition to a wide variety of animated works, students pursue the ideal “movement” and develop their powers of expression by deeply experiencing the physicality of movement from symbolic gestures through Noh plays, fight scenes, pantomime, and Kamigata plays.
[Animation Art Expression Techniques / Years 1 & 2]
We work with animation production companies to offer special classes to learn about the current trends in digital drawing.There have been some classes where professionals demonstrated and introduced the digital drawing process and others where students have tried their hand at drawing using tools from the production companies.
Students acquire basic painting skills such as drawing, watercolor, and color composition.There are also classes where students learn the basics of animation production, such as video, timesheets, and rudimentary computer graphics.
Students gain expertise in areas of interest such as stop motion, sound design, and 3DCG,and understand the connection between stillness and movement by watching traditional performing arts like Noh and Bunraku.
Students learn how to plan and draw storyboards to create a full-scale animation.They also take on the challenge of planning, directing, and producing a live-action drama.
Students form teams and divide responsibilities between them, drawing and planning together to complete their graduation work.In some cases, the completed works are evaluated at art festivals.
