This interdisciplinary, practiced based course introduces the design principles of character design for animated formats in 2D techniques. Through analogue, experimental excercises we will explore the fundamentals of designing unconventional characters and learn about the requirements they have to fulfil when they are to be set in motion. We will work with paper, pen and scissors, with ourselves and the daily objects that surround in order to generate ideas.
The course is designed for students of Media Art and Design and Visual Communications. Moreover, it is open for students from the faculty of Media Architecture. The course will be held in German.
Drawing skills are necessary for participation. If you want to join the course, please send a short motivation letter and some work examples as a PDF together with your name, semester, study focus and Matrikelnr until 6.5. to: aline.helmcke@uni-weimar.de
If you are interested and have any queries regarding the materials and software that we will use, please join the online consultation on 5.5. between 14 and 16h.
