Beginning with the pre-history of animation, optical toys and magic lantern projections, and continuing through a century of animation history to contemporary work, this course investigates the history of animation from around the world, through a variety of handson production projects, as well as lectures, discussions, research, and screenings. Combining tactile and digital methods, students create weekly collaborative and individual animated films, incorporating lessons from the historical work studied. (AU)
