Create five point character turnarounds.
Demo-Reel	ANIM 148	Outcome/Objective Students will be able to identify an area of focus within the 3D animation field. Outcome/Objective Students will create a demo-reel of appropriate artwork based on the research produced in the class. Identify area of focus within animation fields based on interest, skill and strength. Apply principles of composition and animation in objective and subjective analysis of work appropriate for demo reel. Evaluate how animation and images work together in a demo reel as a strategic tool for entering animation fields. Identify and solve demo reel problems by applying animation concepts and techniques. Discuss, analyze and evaluate work with appropriate terminology for content, technique and style. Create demo-reel of appropriate art work, cover letter and resume that will assist in entering animation field or baccalaureate institution.
Digital Animation	ANIM 175	Produce motion graphics demonstrating the use of logic and creativity per industry standards. Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to create an animated movement for an object using motion tweening and the motion editor. Outcome/ Objective Students will be able to create web compatible animation through the proper use and workflow of the Flash interface. Analyze and evaluate motion graphic projects for content, technique, and design through oral and written critique. Create original motion graphics that synthesize the principles of animation, design, and cinematography appropriate to the field. Use software and techniques common to the motion graphics field. Manage project timelines, layers, and compositions for efficient animation.
Digital Paint and Ink	ANIM 100	Synthesize painting and drawing techniques to create stylized artwork. Export digital content for use in other software programs. Demonstrate the use of digital drawing tools for both bitmap and vector software. Create drawings and paintings using custom brush libraries. Use Bezier paths to digitally ink vector graphic drawings.
Drawing - Gesture and Figure	ANIM 101A	MO 3. Develop quick study drawing skills. MO 4. Create drawings that incorporate drapery and costume. MO 5. Execute drawings demonstrating communicative potential of the human figure. Students will be able to use line to create the illusion of three-dimensional form through use of cross contour and construction. MO 1. Create drawings that capture gesture. MO 2. Create drawings that use human proportions.
Drawing: Life	ARTD 17A	Students will be able to quickly assess and communicate accurate proportion of the figure. Students will be able to use line to create the illusion of three-dimensional form through use of cross contour and construction. Create the illusion of three-dimensional form using various media and techniques based on formal art principles. Work from a general visual shorthand to more specific studies that result in finished art. Develop and use original and creative thinking in drawing the human body. Create drawings of the human body using drawing principles and techniques. Evaluate and discuss historical and contemporary art/artists through written and oral critiques using appropriate art-specific terminology.
Drawing: Perspective	ARTD 16	Use perspective in a variety of quick freehand sketches/drawings for visual notes, extended personal studies, and as a basis for planning larger extended works of art. MO 5. Analyze objectively and subjectively historical and contemporary works of visual art for their use of linear and atmospheric perspectives to organize subject, form and compositional elements of drawing and painting. Create original drawings that interpret organic forms using perspective principles and techniques. Create original drawings using rendering techniques including lighting, shade and shadow, and texture. Create original drawings that interpret three-dimensional objects and space using perspective principles and techniques. Identify and discuss perspective techniques and drawing terminology in evaluative oral and written discussions, analysis and critiques. Outcome/Objective Students will be able to create drawings using techniques that demonstrate a clear understanding of atmospheric perspective.

Introduction to 3D Animation	ANIM 140	Use appropriate tools and techniques to produce the walk cycle of a humanoid character that can be used in games and animation media. Critique character animations based on learned skills and concepts. Create thumbnails and sketches that effectively communicate storytelling and narration. Create animation following the classic principles of animation consistent with animation industry standards. Create animation that conveys storytelling using harmony in poses, pauses, and motion that is timed well.
Motion Graphics, Compositing and Visual Effects	ANIM 172	Produce motion graphics demonstrating the use of logic and creativity per industry standards. Analyze and evaluate motion graphic projects for content, technique, and design through oral and written critique. Outcome/ Objective Students will demonstrate the animation principles of 'easing in and out' in motion graphics work. Manage project timelines, layers, and compositions for efficient animation. Students will demonstrate the ability to create and composite using an alpha channel. Create original motion graphics that synthesize the principles of animation, design, and cinematography appropriate to the field. Use software and techniques common to the motion graphics field.
