Description:

What animates you as a writer? This course offers the development of a personal writing practice that will bolster, enliven, and inform one’s frame by frame animation practice. In our transdisciplinary approach, we will identify how the twelve principles of animation (arc, anticipation, timing, staging) also work as principles in our writing craft (arc, suspense, pacing, setting). Word after word, dynamic worlds are constructed for our sequential art.Writing & Research in the Discipline courses engage with the writing and research skills relevant to the particular discipline at an advanced, upper-division level. The course will be closely linked to the upper-division work in the major program. Frequent writing assignments.
