This course will explore the preproduction aspects of animation concepts and visual development. Students will gain knowledge in character development, background environments, object and prop design, flora and fauna, scene building, color keys, aerial mapping, and techniques for digital painting.

Students will “worldbuild” concepts by researching and designing a thematic approach to specific assignments and projects. Both hand-drawn materials and digital drawing will be used during the semester. Various software will be utilized for character design, background paintings, and concept prese
