Learn how to create graphics and animations using software tools such as Maya and After Effects. This workshop introduces principles and techniques for visual communication and provides opportunities to acquire practical skills in the digital visual arts, including, but not limited to: creating 3D models, materials, and keyframe motion animation in Maya; creating 2D graphics and animation in After Effects; and editing a short animated movie. The focus will be on experiential learning, therefore participants will learn primarily by producing their own models and animations. In addition, the instructors will demo in detail the production workflows of educational animations and will provide resources for further learning following the workshop.
