TBA
Vampires, forbidden love, spirits, and monsters from the deep. In this class students will make short animations inspired by the Victorian genre. Students will learn handmade animation techniques, including paper silhouette, hand-drawn and experimental methods. We will read samples of Victorian Gothic and related literature for inspiration; students will make work based on these readings or on their own ideas.
No animation or film experience necessary, only a fanciful mind. A fun and creative class. Students encouraged to provide their own digital still camera.
Tuition: $495.00
