* The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||
Through a series of screenings, workshops and lectures, this course introduces
students to historical and contemporary approaches in abstract and experimental
animation. A central premise of the course is that sound and music are key components
of the moving image. Students will explore the concept of visual music, how
rhythm, timing and counterpoint can structure or disrupt our reading of abstract
motion. Another focal point is on the nexus between narrative and non-narrative
modes of experimental animation, and how meanings can be negotiated through
abstraction. In-class exercises and assigned projects will expose students to a range of tools and techniques which will enable them to
design and produce abstract and experimental moving image works, as a form of artistic
expression and as a conceptual tool for time-based media and beyond. | ||||||||
