The Animation Studio course, offered by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), is designed for students who are interested in creating moving images using both digital and traditional media. The course provides an overview of different animation techniques, including stop-motion and frame-by-frame, and encourages the use of digital tools alongside traditional methods to reflect contemporary artistic practices. The course instructor is Sara Payne, and the curriculum is expected to provide a robust skill-building platform for students. The course schedule runs from early October to mid-December, with classes held every Saturday afternoon. While it is not explicitly stated, the in-person nature of the schedule implies that the course is not delivered online. Participation in the course requires registration by the end of September. It is designed as a repeatable course, allowing participants to continue building their skills across multiple sessions. The cost for the course is $600. By the end of the Animation Studio course, students are expected to have enhanced their understanding of animation principles and techniques, and gained practical experience in creating moving images using a blend of digital and traditional media. However, specific certifications or recognitions are not mentioned.
