Assignments are thematic or conceptually based with ample opportunity for individual approaches to media, subject, scale and process. Particular attention is given to ways to conduct visual research in the development of personal imagery. The semester begins with the refinement of perceptual skills acquired in Drawing I, while encouraging experimentation through the introduction of color, abstract agendas, conceptual problem solving, and collaborative exercises, as well as new materials, techniques and large format drawings. The projects are designed to help students in all disciplines find ways express and clarify their ideas through the process of drawing. This studio class explores drawing in both its traditional and contemporary forms. *Course fulfills Integrative Design Studio requirement.ĭrawing is a fundamental means of visualization and a hub for thinking, constructing, and engaging in a wide variety of creative activities and problem solving. Students in the course will use hand-drawn and collage animation to produce persuasive videos that communicate emerging risks and obstacles to climate action as well as solutions and new perspectives.
In this course, we will form small production teams that will partner with climate researchers at Penn and other centers and institutions to produce animated videos that meet their communication needs. What scientists value is the ability of animation to convey complex information in engaging and comprehensible ways.
This collaboration guarantees accuracy, relevance, and effective audience-targeting. As the instructors of this studio have discovered in their own work, it is crucial that animators collaborate with climate scientists and that research be a component throughout the whole process, from script-writing and storyboarding to the animatic and the final product. The animation toolkit includes the implementation of metaphor within stories, alluring hand-drawn visualizations, illustrative views, dynamic transformations of visual forms, and cinematic sequences that reveal the cause and effect of human action. Animation can be disarming and effective when used for climate communication.
