Summer Animation Residency is an immersive experience led by CalArts faculty and industry professionals. The three areas of study within the course are life drawing, design, and story, which are intended to work together to build a solid foundation for aspiring animators. Learner Outcomes Life Drawing- Through intensive drawing sessions and instructor guidance, students develop a body of work that can be used as reference for future design and illustration work, and may be included in professional or college application portfolios. Design- By the end of this course, students will have the skillset to break down any story to its strongest visual statement and translate it into a strong layout design. Story- At the end of the program students will have created a storyboard portfolio that they will "pitch" to their peers just as one would in a studio environment.
