2D Animation
In 2D animation class, students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamental principles and techniques of creating animations in a two-dimensional space. Our class combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to help students develop their skills. The students will learn to animate and may focus in different animations, from character animation to effects animation or even storytelling through animation.
First year will be all about the basics and foundational skills such as drawing, perspective, layout, background, different animation techniques and more. During the second year, the students will create their own original content as thesis for 2D animation.
The skills and knowledge gained in our class can be foundational for careers in animation, game design, film, and other creative industries.
