ART 140 introduces the fundamentals of animation, with an emphasis on the effective use of digital 
animation software and techniques. Students meet course learning outcomes by creating solo and 
collaborative animations from still photographs, mixed media, drawings, and/or digital media. The

create and edit animated movies. Course structure includes both studio and digital design platforms; 
required software is provided via a student license while registered in the course. Students must have 
access to a personal or campus computer that can run the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software.
