In the Animation Course Levels 1 & 2 the students are introduced to the concept of animation and physics , and applying that to animated motion and body mechanics . We learn how to do this through The Principles of Animation , ideas and concepts that were identified and written down by 2 of the original Disney Animators . Each week we will examine and explain one principle and then put it into practice as the student will have an assignment to create their own animation during the week ( 3-5 hours per week ). Level 1 is required before Level 2 . Cost is $ 300 for the 12 week session .
The Drawing Courses are aimed at introducing the different principles and techniques of drawing as an art form . The student will be introduced to the classic concepts of traditional drawing and how to use them to bring more life-like images to the page . These classes can be taken in any order .
