ANGM6320 - Animation and Time-Based Media Research

ANGM 6320 Animation and Time-Based Media Research (3 semester credit hours) Research practices in animation and time-based media present and reflect upon the creative portion of academic research, including, although not limited to, animation, motion graphics, art installation, performance, and other related fields that apply multimedia technologies to the creation of moving images and sound. Such works challenge the viewer's perception through the use and manipulation of time and rhythm, inviting critical connections. This course will examine a wide variety of examples, texts, applications, and interpretations of animation and time-based media, allowing students to broaden their understanding of these fields, their connections, and overlaps through lively discussions. Students will apply their knowledge by producing their own creative pieces and reflecting upon them in writing in the context of practice-related research, using critical methodologies and research strategies.
