EXPANDED ANIMATION

Animation has entered all zones of art and design practice. The Expanded Animation postgraduate certificate provides an opportunity for students to explore animation across the disciplines. This minor will provide opportunities for exploring media art, graphic design, drawing and critical practices as they relate to the moving image, interactivity and the virtual. The focus is on innovation, experimentation, imagination, creativity and critical thinking. The Expanded Animation postgraduate certificate is a collaboration of the Faculties of Art, Design and Liberal Studies.
