Learn traditional animation techniques that Walt and his team relied upon daily with pencil and paper, and transition them into the digital world. Students learn skills and software using Toon Boom to create hand-drawn animation on a computer. This eight-week class will focus on introductory-level animation exercises and is designed for students with little-to-no animation experience. Class assignments will be split into both physics-based animation and character animation.

Continuing students will have the opportunity to learn new skills and exercises while having additional time to work on a personal project.
