Take the first step on an incredible two-week journey as we look at what it means to be a young woman in animation. Students will design their own female lead character while studying narrative structure, fairy tales, reexamining tropes, and stereotypes in animated films. After developing concept art and character designs, students will transform their sketches into a 3D maquette.

Please note: This summer class is only for individuals who identify as female.
