Learning the Language of Caricature:  Animation Courses

"Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world."
         Walt Disney

If you believe as Walt Disney did, i.e. cartoons make people happy, and you have some creative ability, then consider becoming an animator and learning the tricks of the trade in an animation course.

Many art schools or film schools have animation programs.  Some programs last a year and train you only in animation.  Others give you the opportunity for a more rounded education with an associate of arts degree or a bachelor’s of arts degree.

Learn how to make magic by turning inanimate objects into lifelike, moving characters.  Within these challenging and thrilling courses you may learn about the history of animation, how to draw, how to create characters, how to use anatomy, color, illusions of movement and layout to make your characters come alive, how to model, how to do special effects, the different types of animation (e.g. stop motion/cel animation versus computer animation or software animation), to develop animation skills (squash and stretch, overlapping action, follow through, claymation),  how to tell stories and how to design a portfolio.

You too can create memorable characters such as Porky Pig, Betty Boop, and Donald Duck.
