ANI 348: Animation Figure Study II

This studio course utilizing a live model will build on the solid foundation for use in animation, storyboarding, and character design learned in Animation Figure Study I. Principles covered will include tilt and twist, flow, and rhythm in figure drawings. The composition of the poses will also be examined observing the graphic value of the figure in silhouettes. Students will gain a working knowledge of muscular and skeletal anatomy, and apply this in building human forms from both observation and imagination. In addition to the regular meetings with the instructor, this course will include an extra 90 minute figure study lab with model per week, supervised by a graduate assistant.
