This inspiring course in animation practice and critical exploration will introduce students to hands-on animation experience alongside conceptual insights, fostering pathways to creativity and technical processes.
For 40 years, the Royal College of Art has been a leader in auteur animation. To celebrate this legacy, this new short course invites you to discover animation practice introduced through the lens of our world-leading critical research. It is designed for aspiring, emerging, and developing participants interested in broadening their knowledge and skills through animation practice.
Students will gain a conceptually enriched understanding of animation grounded in the practice of making and discovery, through the process of practical, critical and reflective research.
Expert-led sessions will guide participants through collaborative engagement with sequential processes, expanding ideas about what animation is, and what it can do. We welcome cross-disciplinary graduates, junior creatives, established artists, and anyone with an interest in how animation is developed and made.
