Course Description:
In this workshop we will seek to unlock and examine the personal passions and experiences that make us who we are and seek to develop ways to bring that personal perspective to the table of design. The workshop will include lectures and hands-on exercises to help foster experimentation, research and confident design solutions. Through character and animation design we will explore a design process that can be applied to animation, puppetry, illustration, or wherever your creative interests take you.
