History of Animation (MA2137.01)

Sue Rees

A brief history of animated images from the 1500s to the present day including early devices to create sequential images, through to the invention of the rotoscope, avantgarde animations, independent artists and studios. The class will be split into watching documentaries and animations along with discussions, and weekly responses. The intention of the class is to see how changes in animation techniques is often directly linked to scientific experiments, and that its form and different ways of presentation lends itself to questioning norms and political structures.
