Students are required to have access to a camera and audio recording device (this can be a phone) as well as a computer, tablet, or phone for editing. Lectures will include instructor-guided creative methods as well as viewing of animated documentary films and works which examine everyday life. Students will be required to keep a journal and participate in discussions on animated assignments and course readings.
