Join us as we explore skills in animation while learning about cultures from around the world. In this two-week class, you will study diverse stories, writing tropes, and prominent figures within the animation industry. Using classical, hand-drawn animation skills, you design characters and create a short film.

A showcase of all student work will be held at the end of the two-week session; family and friends are encouraged to attend. This class is intended for students interested in learning the process of animation. Students will be working in the studio for the majority of the hours in session. The class is recommended for students with some experience in animation.
