Experimental Animation - California Institute of the Arts

Experimental Animation from California Institute of the Arts is a Campus Master Multimedia degree that prepares you for a Communications career. Fine art principles and practices are the essential forces guiding the mission of the Program in Experimental Animation?a course of study designed for independent and adventurous artists who are interested in personal expression and who regard animation as a highly dynamic, ever-evolving art form. This program offers a framework in which students explore, develop and refine intellectually demanding, aesthetically progressive concepts and professional practices in their personal cinematic artmaking. The curriculum begins by building a foundation understanding of a variety of animation techniques and concepts. Courses in 2-D drawn and direct animation, stop-motion, and 2-D and 3-D computer animation blend practical knowledge with creative stimulation, while animation history courses provide a detailed examination of all forms of animation art?with a special emphasis on the history of experimental forms. Once foundation studies are completed, students work closely with their mentors and other members of the program's accomplished faculty as they experiment with and extend their own unique artistic visions. At the advanced levels of the curriculum, students chart a more individualized course of study in consultation with their mentors, who help to custom-tailor coursework according to each student's particular interests.
