3D objects.

materials are provided as part of the course costs.

field. This is a studio based workshop and class
numbers are extremely limited.
It’s your time to CREATE.
OVERVIEW
This course is designed for beginners and for people
wishing to further develop existing skills. The small
class size enables participants to work within a wide
range of studio based practice methodologies and
skill levels. This animation course is taught by the
Victorian College of the Arts award winning animation
lecturers & industry guest speakers.
Students in the animation intensive course can expect
an introductory, hands-on experience in bringing
drawings, objects and images to life in both narrative
and experimental contexts. They will be exposed
to techniques and materials, animation specific
equipment and software. Through planned exercises
and an individual project, students will gain a
foundation of the principles and practices of animation
production. It is expected that this will better equip the
students for further study and practice in this field.
All animation students take home a VCA School of
Film and Television Animation certificate of completion
plus a DVD of all of the works generated throughout
the course.
CONTENT
